# Bento: your work as a grid of tiles

> A bento grid link in bio: profile, revenue and project tiles on one grid that always ends flush. Featured projects big, the rest as small tiles.

A profile tile, a revenue tile, featured projects large and the rest small, all on one grid that always lines up. Popular with former Bento.me users.

## How it is laid out

Bento puts everything on a four-column grid (two on a phone):

- a **profile** tile with your photo, name, location and bio
- a **monthly revenue** tile, marked Verified when it comes from Stripe, Paddle, Lemon Squeezy, Gumroad, RevenueCat or Shopify
- a **projects** tile with your count and how many are live or building
- each **featured** project as a large tile with its screenshot, status and revenue
- every other project as a small tile with logo, name, status and revenue
- a **links** tile and a **subscribe** tile to close

The closing tiles size themselves to fill whatever the last row leaves open, so the grid always ends flush. On a phone, an odd tile out goes full width rather than leaving a gap.

## Who it suits

People with a mix of things to show: a couple of main products, several small ones, some numbers and a newsletter. It looks like a personal dashboard and reads at a glance.

If you used Bento.me before it closed, this will feel familiar, with project status and verified revenue added. See [the Bento alternative](https://makerhandle.com/compare/bento).

## Part of Pro

Bento is included in **Pro at $20 a year**, with Spotlight, Terminal and Studio. Pro also adds unlimited projects, every palette and the theme builder, a custom domain and no badge.

Try it with your own content in the editor's live preview before upgrading, or open the demo above. See all [templates and themes](https://makerhandle.com/features/themes).

## Questions

### Is the Bento template free?

No. Bento is part of Pro, which is $20 a year. Showcase, Stack and Minimal are free.

### How do I make a tile large?

Mark the project as large in the editor. It becomes a big tile with its screenshot.

### Does it work on phones?

Yes. The grid becomes two columns and fills gaps automatically.

### Is this related to Bento.me?

No. It is makerhandle's own grid template. Bento.me was a separate product, which has since closed.
