How to add website links to Linkie

Step-by-step guide on how to add website links to Linkie

Website links help you share blog posts, products, announcements, landing pages, or any other important page on your Linkie page.

Open Website Link

Open your Linkie page in the playground, then click Website Link in the sticky menu at the bottom.

Using the sticky menu adds the new card at the top of your Linkie page as the newest post.

Add the card at a specific position instead

Instead of using the sticky menu, hover over the gap where you want the new card to appear, then click + Insert. The button appears only in gaps that span a full row, not between cards in adjacent columns. Clicking it chooses the position before you create the card.

Choose Website Link. This opens the same creation dialog as the sticky menu. Fill in the information using the steps below. When you add the card, it appears in the gap you clicked.

Copy the website URL

Copy the URL you want to add. This can be a blog post, store product, social post, landing page, or any other website URL, for e.g: https://publer.com.

If you add a social post as a website link, you will not be able to change the redirect URL. However, you can customize the icon and add a button, which is not possible when using the Add a social post option. Learn how to add social posts to your Linkie here.

Paste the link in Linkie

Go back to Linkie, paste the website URL into Paste URL, then click Add Link.

Review the generated preview

Linkie will automatically generate a preview with the title, image, and description. By default, the website link is added as a full-size rectangle card.

Choose a layout

After adding your link, choose the layout style that works best for your Linkie page. Website links support four layout options.

Use:

ICON when you want a simple website icon without a large card preview. You can edit the website icon by hovering over the image, clicking the camera icon, and uploading a new picture.
PORTRAIT for a wider card that shows the website title and icon. You can edit the icon by hovering over the image, clicking the camera icon, and uploading a new one. To edit the title, click the title text and start typing.
LANDSCAPE for a compact card with a website thumbnail, title, and CTA button. You can edit the icon, title, and CTA button by clicking the area you want to update.
FULL for featured links that need more space for the title, description, and CTA button. This layout does not support a website thumbnail image. You can edit the icon, title, and CTA button by clicking the area you want to update.

Resizing the link thumbnail

When you use the Large Rectangle layout, you can change how the thumbnail image is displayed inside the card.

Use:

The wide rectangle option to show a shorter, wider thumbnail that takes up about half of the card width.
The square option to make the thumbnail square. This gives the image more height while still leaving room for the title and button on the left.
The tall rectangle option to make the thumbnail narrower and taller on the right side. This leaves the most space for the text and button on the left.

Things to note

Website links always open the original URL. You cannot set a custom redirect URL for them.
Only the Large Rectangle layout supports a website thumbnail image. The other layouts use the website icon instead.
Website cards cannot be resized manually. Choose one of the four available layout options instead.
The social network icon shown on the top-left side of a social post preview cannot be changed.
