The homebase guide
A link in bio page for your small business
Help customers find your menu, services, bookings and contact details with a focused mobile link page for your small business.
Answer the questions customers bring
A customer arriving from a social profile may be ready to buy, looking for prices, or checking whether you are open. A small-business link page should make these everyday tasks easier. Start with the questions you answer most often in messages.
A restaurant could prioritize its current menu, reservations and directions. A photographer might prioritize a portfolio, package information and an inquiry form. The useful structure depends on how your customers make decisions.
Make the primary action specific
Use a clear first link for the action that matters most right now. “Reserve a table” sets a different expectation from “Visit our website.” If bookings happen through another service, link directly to the relevant booking page.
Check that destination as a customer would. Confirm the location, services and availability information. If the page shows prices, make sure they match the information elsewhere in your business. Conflicting details can create unnecessary questions.
Keep essential information close
Include a concise business description and recognizable branding. A person should know they have reached the right business before tapping a link. If location matters, include it in plain language.
Use descriptive links to your current contact information rather than copying the same information into many places that may become outdated. A directions link should open the correct branch, and a contact link should reach an inbox you actually monitor.
- A current service list, menu or catalog.
- The right booking, purchase or inquiry page.
- Directions for the relevant location.
- A reliable contact method.
- A helpful explanation of delivery, collection or availability where relevant.
Connect offline materials thoughtfully
A QR code can help people open a page from a printed card, counter sign or packaging. Always test the final printed size using more than one phone before ordering a large batch. Leave clear space around the code and keep it easy to see.
Print a readable web address next to the QR code as an alternative. If you change where the address leads later, check that the new destination still matches the promise on the printed material.
Choose a visual style customers recognize
Use the same business name and recognizable visual cues as your other channels. A restrained design can work well when the page needs to serve practical tasks. A more expressive background can work too, provided it does not compete with the text.
Preview the page on a phone outdoors or with brightness lowered. Small gray text and transparent buttons that look elegant on a desktop can be difficult to read in everyday conditions.
Give one person responsibility for updates
Decide who checks the page when prices, hours, menus or offers change. A shared checklist is more dependable than assuming someone else will update it. Test every destination after a website migration or booking-system change.
Use customer questions as feedback. If people still ask where to find the menu, make its link easier to recognize. The page earns its place by reducing the effort needed to find useful information.
