When you’re creating your personal website, it helps to have a social follow bio page that you can easily link to. It makes a great online visit card with a summary of what you do and where people can see your work. The information that is shared within mobile social follow bios is usually limited to your image, name, job title, a small description and portfolio links. You can also add an additional CTA to help visitors get in touch with you.
In this post, we’ll show you how to create two beautiful mobile social follow bios using Divi. At the end of the tutorial, we’ll also share the JSON files of both examples so you can get started right away.
Let’s get to it!
