Add your photo, name and bio, and choose a header layout, banner and header button for the top of your page.
2 min readUpdated
The header is the top of your page: your photo, name and bio, set out in the layout you choose. It's the first thing visitors see, so it's worth a minute to get right.
Open it from the Profile tab in the editor. On a phone, it's the Profile tile on the Design tab.
Photo, name and bio
- Profile photo: click Upload to add one, or Change to replace it. Square works best.
- Name and bio: click your name or bio to change it. Your name can be up to 60 characters and your bio up to 300.
Choose a layout
Under Layout, pick how the top of your page looks:
| Layout | What it does |
|---|---|
| Classic | Your photo, centred, with your name under it. |
| Social | A banner with your photo over it, like a social profile, with your links shown as posts. |
| Banner | A wide banner with your photo centred over its edge. |
| Hero | Your photo large across the top, with your name where the page begins. |
| Spotlight | Your name in white on your photo, like a magazine cover. |
| Arch | Your photo in a tall arch. |
| Polaroid | Your photo as a tilted instant print, with your handle written under it. |
| Minimal | No photo, just your handle and a large name. |
| Orbit | A round photo with your handle circling it. |
| Stack | Your photo and banner as two overlapping prints. |
| Ticket | Your photo and name on a ticket stub, with your social icons on it when they fit. |
| Marquee | An arched photo with your name scrolling across it. |
Layout extras
Some layouts have settings of their own, shown under the layout picker when you choose them.
- Sheet edge (Hero): how your photo meets the rest of the page. Choose Faded, Straight, Rounded or Curved.
- Banner (Social, Banner and Stack): click Add a banner or drop an image on it. A wide image works best. Without one, Hiyaly uses a blur of your photo.
Add a header button
With the Social layout, you can add a button beside your photo, such as Follow or Book now.
- Switch on Header button.
- Type a Label, up to 24 characters, or tap a ready-made one: Follow, Book now, Shop, Subscribe or Contact.
- Paste the Link it opens.
The button saves once it has both a label and a working link. Click View analytics to see how often it's tapped.
