Alternatives
About.me alternatives
About.me made the one-page personal profile popular. If yours feels dated, here are the alternatives for a page about you, and what each costs on your own domain.
Already have a page there? Bring it over in one click.
What people want from an about.me page
An about.me page answers "who is this?" in one screen: a photo, a few lines, where to find you and a way to get in touch. That job has not changed. What has changed is what people expect next to it: their work, a way to book them, their newsletter, and an address of their own.

makerhandle as an about.me replacement
The top of the page is the same idea: photo, name, a short bio and your socials. Below it, what you do: projects with screenshots, your latest video, a booking calendar for calls, and on Pro a contact form. Job hunting? Switch on Open to work.
Pro is $20 a year: your own domain with SSL, all nine templates, 12 products, a contact form, unlimited subscribers, a year of stats and no badge. See makerhandle vs about.me and a personal website for $20 a year.
