What is LittleLink?
Updated
LittleLink is an open-source, DIY alternative to Linktree. It gives you a single page that collects all your important links — social profiles, shops, contact options, and more — but you host and control it yourself instead of renting space on a closed platform. It is built with plain HTML and CSS: no frameworks, no JavaScript, and no build step required. That makes it a good fit if you want a fast, accessible link page you can deploy on your own hosting and customize down to the markup.
What problem it solves
Link-in-bio services like Linktree put your links on someone else's domain, under someone else's branding, with their tracking and their limits. LittleLink flips that: you get the same "one page, many links" convenience, but the page is yours. You can put it on your own domain, keep the design consistent with your brand, and avoid loading a third-party script just to show a list of buttons.
The site describes it as "an open source DIY Linktree alternative" and lists these characteristics:
- 100+ branded buttons
- Light, dark, and automatic themes
- Best SEO practices
- Best accessibility practices
- Best performance practices
- No frameworks, no JS, no bullshit
How it works
LittleLink is a static page. You copy the project, edit the HTML to include the buttons you want, and deploy the files to any static host. Because there is no JavaScript, the page renders immediately and works even if scripts are blocked. Theming is handled with CSS, including an automatic mode that follows the visitor's system preference.
The project ships with a large set of pre-styled buttons for well-known services. The list on the site includes, among many others:
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Social | Bluesky, Discord, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Mastodon, Threads, TikTok, X, YouTube |
| Music & audio | Amazon Music, Apple Music, Apple Podcasts, Bandcamp, SoundCloud, Spotify, YouTube Music |
| Creative & portfolio | Behance, Dribbble, Figma Community, GitHub, GitLab, Unsplash, Vimeo, VSCO |
| Commerce & payments | Buy Me A Coffee, Cash App, Etsy, Ko-fi, Patreon, PayPal, Shop, Square, Venmo, Zelle |
| Scheduling & contact | Cal.com, Calendly, Email, Google Calendar, Google Meet, Signal, Telegram, WhatsApp, Zoom |
| Generic | Event RSVP, Download File, Email Us, Get Directions, Leave us a review, RSS Subscribe, Visit Our Shop |
There are also generic buttons for cases the branded set does not cover, so you are not limited to the services listed.
Ways to deploy it
The project page points to several one-click or guided deployment paths:
- Deploy to Cloudflare
- Deploy to DigitalOcean
- Deploy to Vercel
- Deploy to Netlify
- Deploy to AWS Amplify
There is also a written guide, "Deploying LittleLink with Vercel," and a customization guide, "Making LittleLink Yours." If you prefer to start from a visual reference, a demo page and a "LittleLink Extended" variant are linked, along with a Figma community file for design work.
Who it is for
LittleLink suits you if:
- You want a link-in-bio page on your own domain.
- You care about page speed and accessibility.
- You are comfortable editing HTML and CSS, or willing to learn the basics.
- You want to avoid JavaScript and third-party dependencies.
- You want to self-host or deploy to a static host you already use.
It is less suitable if you want a fully managed service with a dashboard, drag-and-drop editing, and no file handling at all. LittleLink is DIY by design — the trade-off for control is that you maintain the page yourself.
Getting started
- Get the code from the GitHub repository (fork, star, or download the latest release).
- Read "Making LittleLink Yours" to understand how to add, remove, and reorder buttons.
- Edit the HTML to keep only the buttons you need and set your links.
- Choose a deployment target — Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare, DigitalOcean, or AWS Amplify — and follow the matching guide.
- Verify the result by loading the deployed page, checking that each button points to the right destination, and testing light/dark/automatic themes.
The project also links a Button Builder and a Figma community file, which help you assemble or preview buttons before editing the markup.
