What is a LinkedIn Website?

Do you know that you can create a LinkedIn website typically refers to building a personal or business website that complements your LinkedIn profile—but if you’re asking how to create a website using LinkedIn itself, there’s a need for clarification that.

Option 1: Create a Website That Complements Your LinkedIn Profile

This is the most common approach. You build a website (e.g., on WordPress, Wix, Squarespace) and link it to your LinkedIn profile to showcase:

  • Your portfolio
  • Projects
  • Resume or CV
  • Testimonials
  • Blog posts or thought leadership

Steps:

  1. Choose a Website Builder:
    • Free: WordPress.org (self-hosted), Wix (limited features), Carrd
    • Paid: Squarespace, Webflow, WordPress.com Pro
  2. Design Your Website:
    • Use a clean, professional theme
    • Include sections like “About Me,” “Projects,” “Contact,” and “Blog”
  3. Connect to LinkedIn:
    • Add your website link to your LinkedIn profile under “Contact Info”
    • Share blog posts or updates from your site on LinkedIn regularly

Option 2: Use LinkedIn as a Mini Website

LinkedIn itself can act like a personal website if you optimize your profile:

Steps:

  1. Customize Your LinkedIn URL:
    • Go to your profile → Edit public profile & URL → Create a clean, professional link
  2. Optimize Your Profile Sections:
    • Use the “Featured” section to showcase PDFs, links, videos, or portfolio items
    • Add rich media to your “Experience” and “Projects” sections
  3. Create a LinkedIn Company Page (Optional):
    • If you want to promote a brand like “Clutter to Declutter,” create a LinkedIn Page
    • Add a logo, description, and website link
    • Post updates, articles, and events

💡 Bonus Tip:

If you want to create a landing page specifically for LinkedIn visitors (e.g., “Welcome LinkedIn Connections!”), you can build that on your website and share the link in your profile or posts.

Here is a sample of what it looks like on LinkedIn.
