Milkshake makes a lovely swipeable bio page on your phone. Clay makes a real website that also works as that link.
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.
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.
Type your name — Clay pulls your photos, hours, reviews and contact details straight from your Google listing.
Choose a look and Clay builds a full site around your content. Change anything with a tap — no code, no templates to wrestle.
Publish to your own name.clay.site in minutes. Add a custom domain and connect your own tools whenever you're ready.
Open one. It is the live site in a frame, not a screenshot — so what you see is what it looks like right now.
Yes — the whole editor is the live page, and it is designed for a phone first. Most people never open it on a computer.
It is a different kind of pretty: eight designed themes rather than a card stack. Milkshake's cards are lovely and if that is exactly the shape you want, keep it.
Free with a small badge. Paid removes the badge and connects your own domain.
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.
Yes — a basket and card payments are part of the site, so the same link can sell as well as inform. That is the main thing a card stack cannot do.
Yes — appointments, tables or rentals, with a deposit by card if you need one. That is a long way past what a card stack does: how booking works.
Yes: a proper share card with your own photograph and your business name, rather than a generic tool logo.
