Set up your Start Page layout
- Select the Start Page tab at the top of your Buffer dashboard.
- From the "Choose a template" menu, click on one of our pre-designed layouts (you can customize this more later!)
- Give your Start Page a nickname for your own purposescustomers won't see this; it's just for your reference when you're working within Buffer.
- Get creative with customizing! You can add, remove, and edit blocks (including dragging and dropping them to change their order) to set up a website that looks and feels like your company. Add your company's logo and tagline, upload images, add links to your shop and latest blog post, post your latest video content, and link out to all of your social channels.
Customize your domain, publish your Start Page, and share the link with your audience
- After customizing your Start Page blocks, click Publish Changes.
- Select a domain for your Start Page that will be public-facing, and will end in the "start.page" domain, then click Publish Start Page.
- Your Start Page is now live! Click the Copy Link button and then paste your new Start Page domain into all of your social channel bios.
- Edits are easy as you have new things to share with your followers - just delete, edit, or add new blocks as needed, and remember to click Publish Changes when you're done.
