Creating your page

Strands is in closed beta and new sign-ups are temporarily closed — join the waitlist and we’ll let you know when a spot opens. Once you have access, signing up is a single form: your email, a password, and the username you want — all in one step. After you submit it, we email you a confirmation code; enter that code and your account is created and your username is claimed in the same flow.

Your username becomes your profile’s address once you publish: it’s served at that username as a subdomain (for example, yourname.strands.io). Nobody else can claim the same username while you hold it.

What a "page" is

Every profile has at least one page, and you can add up to ten. Each page has its own title and its own ordered list of content blocks — a link button, a heading, an embedded video, and so on.

Multiple pages don’t create multiple URLs. Your profile still lives at one address; visitors switch between your pages with a button on the page itself. See Multiple pages in Features for more on how that works.

Where to go next

Once you’re signed in, the admin area has two main sections for editing your page: Content and Design (colors, buttons, and typography). Content shows a live preview of your actual page — click anything on it (your name, bio, avatar, a block) to edit it directly. Start there to add your first blocks. A separate Branded links page, in the same profile menu, manages your own trackable short links — see Links that never die for more on those.
