We Were Tired of Sending People to 6 Different Links. So We Built Shorti.es.

Let's be honest with you from the start.

We didn't build Shorti.es because we saw a gap in a market report. We built it because we kept running into the same frustrating problem — and every time we looked for a solution, nothing quite fit.

Here's the scenario we kept living:

Someone would ask, "How do I find you online?" And the answer would turn into a small disaster. "Okay, so our Instagram is here, but the booking form is a different link, and the Google Maps pin is somewhere else, and if you want to see our portfolio it's on another page entirely, and oh — we have a Shopee store too."

By the time you've finished explaining, the person has already moved on.

We'd watch small business owners hand out flyers with four different URLs crammed into the footer. We'd see freelancers lose potential clients because their "portfolio" was a Google Drive link that opened sideways on mobile. We'd watch creators pour hours into content, only to send their audience off in six different directions with a "link in bio" that went nowhere useful.

The links were everywhere. The audience was nowhere.

The "obvious" fix wasn't obvious at all

The first thing everyone says is: "Just build a website."

Sure. Except a proper website — one that looks professional, loads fast, stays updated, and doesn't break every time you change something — costs money. Real money. Developer money. And even the DIY website builders that promise simplicity tend to bury you under settings, templates, and subscription tiers before you've published a single page.

For a solo freelancer or a small café just trying to get found online, this is not a small ask. It's a whole project. And most people don't have the time, the budget, or the energy for a whole project.

So people make do. They tape together a dozen different tools. A link shortener here. A QR code generator there. A bio link page from some free tool that puts their competitor's ads right next to your content. A separate analytics dashboard that costs more than your hosting.

It works, technically. But it's a mess. And deep down, everyone knows it looks like a mess.

What we actually built

Shorti.es is one place for everything you share — and it takes minutes to set up, not days.

You get a bio link page where you can put your services, your map, your social links, your booking form, your video, your latest posts — all on a single clean page that loads fast on any device. Drag the sections around until it looks right. Pick a visual theme. Publish. Done.

You get a link that fits who you are. Start free on shorti.es/@yourname. If you want something with more personality, there's whaddup.foo or ayt.bet. If you're a business in Cebu, there's cebucity.ph — a domain that tells your customers and Google Maps exactly where you are before they've even opened the page.

You get short links with real analytics. Not just "someone clicked this" — but where they came from, what device they used, and which region they're in. If you're running a campaign across Instagram, print flyers, and email, you finally get to see what actually worked.

You get QR codes included, ready to download as SVG or PNG and drop straight onto a menu, a poster, or a slide deck.

And it's all in one dashboard. One login. One place to check.

Who this is for

We built Shorti.es for people who have been making do.

For the restaurant owner whose customers can't find the menu because it's three clicks deep on a Facebook page that hasn't been updated since 2022.

For the freelancer who sends a different link to every client and quietly hopes they don't notice the inconsistency.

For the content creator who's grown a real audience but still uses a free bio link tool that makes their page look like an afterthought.

For the online seller with a Shopee store, a Lazada store, and an Instagram shop — all separate, all requiring separate explanations.

For the small business in Cebu that wants an online presence that actually reflects where they are and what they do — without hiring a developer.

If you've ever felt like your links are scattered, your tools don't talk to each other, or getting online is harder than it needs to be — Shorti.es is for you.

What's live right now

We're not vaporware. Here's what you can use today:

The bio page builder is live. Drag-and-drop sections, nine visual themes, custom colors and fonts, full-width profile photo, map with your pin, video embeds, image cards, social icons, link buttons — the works.

Custom addresses are live. Pick a free handle on shorti.es, or upgrade to a premium domain or your own.

Short links with analytics and QR codes are live on paid plans.

And we're already working on what's next: full web pages — not just your bio, but full section-based pages for campaigns, product launches, and portfolios — built with the same simple editor.

Why free, really

The free plan isn't a trick. It's not a crippled version designed to annoy you into paying.

We made it free because we know what it's like to not be sure yet. To want to try something before committing. To have sixteen browser tabs open and zero patience for another subscription.

Claim your @handle. Build your page. Share it. See if it makes things simpler. We think it will.

If you want more — analytics, a premium domain, your own branded address — the paid plans are there when you're ready.

One last thing

We're a small team. We built this because we needed it, and we think a lot of you do too.

We're going to keep building — openly, incrementally, with you watching and (hopefully) telling us what's missing. The roadmap is public. The free plan is real. And your @handle is waiting.

→ Reserve it at shorti.es — it takes about 30 seconds.

We'll see you on the other side.
