Build first, then publish
Create your page and preview it without a payment card. Free and Pro use the same editor, blocks, widgets, and themes. A saved draft is not a published page: you decide when to make it public.
Use the preview to check your name, bio, link order, images, and destinations. An external widget may still need its own provider account or subscription; a shapes plan does not replace those services.
In Your details, each social icon has an optional Visible label field (up to 80 characters). For example, add an email URL and use “Say hi” as its label. The words appear beside that icon, under your bio or at the bottom according to Icon position. Leave the label blank to keep the original icon-only style. Social links need a URL to appear; save and publish your changes when ready.
What each plan includes
Publishing 1 page is free. Pro is $8/month or $60/year, in US dollars.
- Free includes 1 live page at a shapes address, 7 days of analytics, and a monthly allowance for the Cove assistant. The shapes badge is shown, free pages are not listed in search engines, and a custom domain, Custom code and email signup export are not included.
- Pro includes up to 5 pages, your own domain, removal of the shapes badge, a year of analytics with per-link clicks, email signup export, Custom code, a larger Cove allowance, and pages that search engines may list.
- Free pages are checked automatically when you publish. A page that breaks the Acceptable Use policy may be held back or taken down.
Publish only when ready
In the publishing sheet, check Address and select “Publish my page”. Add content first if the page is empty. To upgrade, choose Pro on Pricing and complete checkout; upgrading does not publish anything by itself.
Later edits remain in your draft until you select “Publish changes”. Visitors see the published version, not your unfinished edits. If saving fails, resolve the error before trying to publish again.
Use “Take offline” to unpublish without deleting your work. This controls page visibility, not billing: if you have Pro, manage the subscription separately through “Open billing portal” on Pricing.
