A Milkshake alternative with more room
Milkshake makes a lovely swipeable bio page on your phone. Clay makes a real website that also works as that link.
A real Clay site, built from a Google listing
Milkshake is charming and it is genuinely built for a phone, which most tools in this category are not. Its limit is the same as its shape: a handful of cards you swipe through.
The moment your bio page needs a menu with prices, a booking calendar, a shop or a map with directions, you are past what a card stack can carry. Clay starts as one link and holds all of that behind it, built out of your Google listing, so most of it is filled in before you get there.
Clay vs Milkshake
You do not have to move again
Outgrowing a bio-link tool means telling everybody a new address, the QR code on the counter, the link in the bio, the sticker on the window.
Clay is already a full website engine, so growing means adding a band rather than moving house.
Your photographs, already sorted
Clay reads the pictures on your Google listing, grades them, crops them for the shape each band needs and puts the best one at the top. Nothing to upload, nothing to resize.
What it looks like when it is live
Drawn rather than described, the page, the address, and what it can switch on.
What you get
- One link for the bio, the QR code and the flyer
- A menu, a shop or a booking calendar behind it
- Your Google photographs and reviews already in place
- Free on your own name.clay.site

Questions
Can I build it on my phone?
Yes, the whole editor is the live page, and it is designed for a phone first. Most people never open it on a computer.
Is it as pretty?
It is a different kind of pretty: designed themes rather than a card stack. Milkshake's cards are lovely and if that is exactly the shape you want, keep it.
What does it cost?
Free with a small badge. Paid removes the badge and connects your own domain.
Can I keep the same link?
If you are moving from Milkshake you will have a new address, so update the bio once. After that the Clay address never has to change again, however much the site grows.
Is it good for a shop as well as a bio?
Yes, a real basket with products, options and prices is part of the site, so the same link can sell as well as inform. Checkout sends you the order rather than charging a card, which for a business people walk into is usually what you want anyway.
Can it take bookings?
Yes, appointments, tables or rentals, on a real calendar, with a deposit stated on the booking if you need one. That is a long way past what a card stack does: how booking works.
Will it look right when somebody shares the link?
Yes: a proper share card with your own photograph and your business name, rather than a generic tool logo.
