Overview
LittleLink
The DIY self-hosted LinkTree alternative. LittleLink has more than 100 branded button styles you can easily use, with more regularly added by our community in this repo and in LittleLink Extended.
🆕 LittleLink Button Builder
Want to make your own buttons for LittleLink but you're not too sure where to start? Check out our new Button Builder. This new builder lets you preview button styles and with a single click, copy the generated CSS code to put in css/brands.css, and copy the generated HTML code to put in index.html. This builder also helps automate accessibility features by checking contrast ratios and suggesting strokes when needed, ensuring your custom buttons maintain LittleLink's high standards for visibility in both light and dark themes. Design your buttons visually, preview them live, and get ready to go code. Live Site | GitHub Repo
🌞 Themes and Accessibility
LittleLink offers auto, light, and dark themes right out of the box. If the default color schemes don't match your preference, you can easily customize them by updating the values in style.css. You can set any of the themes right in index.html. To enhance visual accessibility in both light and dark modes, buttons lacking sufficient contrast with the background are outlined with an inverse stroke to ensure visibility. While LittleLink emphasizes accessibility, it's important to acknowledge that not all brands incorporated into LittleLink achieve this standard. Branded buttons that come into LittleLink always retain the original essence of the brand and some branded buttons might fall short of optimal accessibility in terms of contrast.
🥇 Performance
LittleLink epitomizes simplicity and minimalism. When evaluating the LittleLink sample page (which mirrors a typical LittleLink setup for an individual) through tools such as Google PageSpeed Insights, showcases LittleLink's excellence with 100/100 in Performance, Accessibility, Best Practices, and SEO. My initial vision for LittleLink was to craft it from the fundamentals. LittleLink leverages its own vanilla css to remove the unnecessary bloat you would get from using a large framework for a page that requires nothing more than simplicity.
☁️ Deploy
No need for gulp, npm, or anything else to make LittleLink work—it uses the bare essentials. You can automatically fork and deploy LittleLink with Cloudflare, DigitalOcean, Vercel, Netlify, or Amplify using the buttons below. LittleLink is also easy to host through GitHub Pages or on your home lab server, CDN, or other frontend hosting services. To edit, all you need is a little basic HTML knowledge to add a link to the existing buttons or you can create your own. See our adding custom buttons to your own fork wiki. It's simple, promise. 🤞
