Bento alternative
The Bento alternative for a page that reads like a homepage, not a grid.
Bento.me did something good for the link in bio. It made the category look clean. Its grid of tiles is tidy, consistent, and popular with designers for a reason: it looks composed out of the box, and you can put a lot in a small space.
The trade-off is that the grid does the deciding. Your photo, your work, and your links all get sized into the same boxes, and the page reads as a dashboard of tiles rather than an introduction. mypage.cc takes the other path. Your page reads top to bottom like a personal homepage, with real typography and themes that change the whole design, not just the colors of the squares.

Why people look for an alternative
Bento's grid is its strength and its limit. Because every profile is built from the same tiles, profiles start to look like each other, and you end up arranging your content to fit the boxes instead of the boxes following your content. A grid also does not read in a clear order, so a visitor scans tiles rather than being walked through who you are and what you do.
The other common reason is design control. A grid keeps things neat, but it caps how far your page can express your own taste. If you care how the page looks and want it to feel like yours, a fixed grid eventually gets in the way. We go deeper on this in our Bento alternative guide.
What mypage.cc does differently
- Design-system themes, not a single grid look. Each of our 61 themes changes typography, spacing, radii, and color together, so switching themes restyles the whole page instantly and nothing breaks.
- Blocks beyond a grid. Photo and bio, text sections, link rows, image galleries, video embeds, social icons, contact buttons, and Instagram-style stories, arranged in the order a page should read.
- Fast on mobile. Pages ship almost no JavaScript and load instantly on mobile data, where most bio links actually get opened.
- A handle worth owning. mypage.cc/yourname is short, memorable, and yours. Claiming it feels like getting a good username, because it is one.
Who is mypage.cc for?
Designers and illustrators who want the link itself to demonstrate taste rather than slot into a standard grid. Freelancers and indie developers who share one link in proposals, bios, and DMs to win work. Creators who send followers from Instagram, X, or YouTube to everything they make. Anyone who likes Bento's clean look but wants a page that reads as a real introduction.
If you have tried a grid and felt your content fighting the boxes, that is exactly the gap mypage.cc is built to close: a designed page that flows in the order you choose, set up in minutes, at a short link you own.
