How to Make an Aesthetic Link in Bio

The basics of an aesthetic page

• Two or three colours. Take them from your logo, packaging or Instagram grid, and use the same ones across the page.
• One pair of fonts. One for your name and headings, one for text. Any more looks messy.
• A calm background. Your buttons and words are the stars; the background is the stage.
• Buttons in one style. Matching shape and colour looks tidy and is easier to tap.

Link in bio background ideas

There are four kinds of background, each suited to a different look:

• Solid: one colour. The tidiest and easiest to read. Great for a minimal look.
• Gradient: two or three colours blending into each other. Modern and bright without getting in the way.
• Image: a photo of your product, shop or yourself. The most personal, but pick it carefully so text stays clear.
• Motif: a repeating pattern, like a Malaysian motif. A unique look without needing your own photo.

A busy background can be calmed down. On Singgah, Tint makes it lighter or darker, and Blur either softens the whole background (Background) or puts panels behind your name and text (Behind text), so the pattern stays sharp around them.

The right background image size

A background photo shows on a phone screen, which is tall and narrow. A landscape photo gets cut a lot at the sides. On Singgah, photo backgrounds are cropped to the same phone-screen frame on every device:

• Aspect ratiotall and narrow, like a phone screen9 : 19.5
• Saved sizein pixels, width × height1170 × 2532
• Best photoportrait, at least this wide1170 px

• Keep the subject away from the middle. Your name, bio and buttons cover the middle and bottom, so the best part of the photo works best near the top or sides.
• Pick a calm photo. Sky, walls, fabric or a wooden table work better than a photo full of small details.
• Small photos can look soft. The editor tells you when yours might not look sharp.

Malaysian motif ideas for your link in bio

A motif gives your page a look that feels local. Singgah has 14 Malaysian motifs that repeat at the same size on phones and laptops, free on every page. A few ideas:

• Weddings and engagements: Songket or Kebaya lace, with a serif font and soft buttons.
• Cafés, florists and cake shops: Bunga raya or Bunga tanjung, with pastel colours.
• Festive cookies and open houses: Ketupat or Pucuk rebung for a festive feel.
• Crafts and natural products: Mengkuang, with earthy colours and outline buttons.

Dark motifs usually suit white text, and light motifs dark text. When you pick a motif on Singgah, the text colour switches by itself if it needs to, so it stays easy to read.

Fonts and button styles

Buttons are what people tap most, so their style matters. Five common styles:

• Fill: solid colour. The clearest, right for most pages.
• Outline: just a line. Light and minimal.
• Soft: a gentle tint behind the text. Suits a pastel look.
• Shadow: buttons that look raised. Playful and easy to tap.
• Glass: see-through and frosted, lovely over a photo or motif.

Corner radius changes the feel too: round corners feel friendly, sharp ones neat and formal. For fonts, pair one heading font with character with one text font that’s easy to read.

Mistakes that make a page look messy

• Text on a busy background. If you have to squint to read it, use Tint or Blur, or pick a calmer background.
• Too many colours and fonts. The page starts to look like a sale poster, not a brand.
• Too many buttons. Five clear buttons get more taps than fifteen.
• A landscape background photo. It gets cut at the sides, and its subject ends up behind the buttons.
• Never checking on a phone. Most visitors come from their phone. Always look at your page on one before sharing it.
