Crafting a Linktree that is both functional and visually appealing is integral in ensuring a consistent brand presentation across all platforms. This article delves into how you can tailor your Linktree's appearance to mirror your brand's color or the vibe of your persona on social media.
Why appearance matters
Your Linktree is a digital gateway to your online presence. Its appearance should be an inviting, clear reflection of your brand or persona, ensuring a seamless transition for your audience from your social media platforms to your Linktree and vice versa.
Brand consistency: A cohesive brand presentation across platforms reinforces your brand identity and builds trust with your audience.
Engagement: A well-designed Linktree can enhance user engagement and direct your audience effectively to the content they are interested in.
Customizing your Linktree: Step-by-step guide
Tailoring your Linktree to mirror your brand or persona involves a few key steps. Here's a step-by-step breakdown to guide you through this customization journey:

Update your profile picture, title & description
Upload a profile picture that resonates with your brand or persona.
Craft a clear and concise title and description that informs visitors what to expect.
Choose a theme or custom background
For a quick design fix, selecting a preset theme is a good option. However, for a more tailored appearance, we recommend opting for a custom appearance. When setting up a custom appearance, there are four elements to design.
Custom Background
Free users can select a specific background color. Users on our Pro plan and above can also upload an image or video that aligns with their brand's aesthetic.
Check out our custom background recommendations:
Make sure to download a color picker app and copy the same code directly from your website. This level of consistency will build trust with your audience. If you don’t have a website or brand colors, choose the colors that represent your identity well.
Don’t use random colors that are just similar to your website or have bad accessibility.
Button shape
Select a button shape that complements your design theme and brand personality!
For a more modern and playful vibe opt for rounded shapes.
For a classic and elegant feeling opt for rectangle shapes.
Button color and font color
Pick colors that ensure readability and consistency with your brand palette.
Font choice & color
Choose a font style and color for the text outside the buttons that align with your brand or persona's vibes.
