A personal landing page is one page about you: who you are, what you've built, and how to reach you. For a founder it's the link in your X bio, your email signature and the "about the founder" slide, and it should answer one question fast: is this person worth following up with?
You don't need a website builder or a weekend. Below is what to put on it, in what order, and the quickest ways to publish one.
Key takeaways
- Lead with your photo, name and one line about what you do.
- Then proof: the products you've built, with status and links.
- Then one main action: book a call, follow you, or try the product.
- Keep it to one screen-scroll on a phone. Most visitors arrive from a phone.
What to put on it, in order
1. Photo, name and one line
A real photo of your face, your name, and a single line such as "Building OllamaOCR. Previously sold a Chrome extension." Skip vague titles like "serial entrepreneur": specifics are what people remember.
2. What you've built
This is the part most personal pages miss. List your products, including the ones that ended:
- Live products, with a link and a one-line description.
- Beta projects people can try.
- Acquired or sunset products. A sold or shut-down product shows you can ship, which counts.
If you share numbers (MRR, users), label them honestly. Visitors trust "self-reported" more than numbers with no context.
3. Proof beyond products
Pick one or two: a GitHub activity graph, a notable customer, press, a talk. Don't list everything; pick what supports the one line at the top.
4. Links
X, LinkedIn, GitHub and your website as small icons, not giant buttons. They're secondary to the work above.
5. One clear action
What should a visitor do next? Usually one of:
- Book a call, using your Cal.com, Calendly or SavvyCal link.
- Save your contact, if you meet people in person.
- Try your main product.
One primary button beats five equal ones.
Three ways to make one
| Option | Time | Cost | Best if |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hand-built site (Next.js, Framer, etc.) | A weekend+ | Hosting, domain | You enjoy building it and want full control |
| One-page builder (e.g. Carrd) | An afternoon | About $19/year for Pro | You want a custom layout on a budget |
| Founder page (founders.page) | A few minutes | Free | You want the structure above done for you |
We built founders.page for exactly this page. You get founders.page/yourname with your photo, one-line tagline, every product with its status, optional revenue, social links, a Book a call button, a GitHub activity graph and a Founder Card QR for events, in one of five colour themes. You fill in a form; there's nothing to design. Claim your name.
