Creators
A personal website for creators is the page you want a social profile to open. It should load fast on a phone, show the latest piece, and get out of the way.

Short films about ordinary nights
I walk around with a small camera and wait for the steam, the bus lights, the joke someone almost told. Weekly pieces from Los Angeles kitchens and sidewalks.
YouTubeOrdinary Nights — “Steam on 3rd”@riohaleCuts and leftovers@riohaleThe weekly night walk@riohaleNotes from the sidewalkNot a vlog. Not a brand. A stack of three-minute films about the part of the day after the work lights go off and before anyone has decided to go home.
The tap happens inside another app. Design for that width first.
Rio’s line is “Short films about ordinary nights.” Yours should be that specific.
A YouTube block is a still and a title that opens the video. SayHi does not embed the player.
Social links for TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X. They sit on the page. They are not a stack of identical pills.
Email or the contact form, if you actually want messages. Skip it if you do not.
The job of the URL is still “the link in the bio.” The page on the other side can be a small site. Creators who only need five equal destinations may not need SayHi. Creators with a film, a post, or a release usually do.
A film, a product, a newsletter, a show. Put that first. Everything else is secondary.
It is mobile-first on purpose. Preview it at a phone width in the studio before you publish.
sayhi.page/yourname goes in the profile field that asks for a website. Read the link-in-bio guide if you want the job of that URL spelled out.
It can be the page behind a bio link. It is built as a personal page, so the latest work has somewhere to sit besides a list of buttons.
No. Instagram and TikTok blocks are links with the context you write. The feed stays on those apps.
The one link in a bio, opened as a designed page instead of a stack of buttons.
One designed page for a personal homepage: bio, work, projects, and a URL.
Bio-link examples that still read as personal pages.
The URL you choose to put on a social profile, and what the page on the other side should hold.
Starting points for developers, designers, artists, writers, and other kinds of work.
