You already did the hard part: you built a following on Instagram or TikTok. Create My Site turns that public page into a real website of your own, designed around your actual photos and videos, live on the web in about a minute. It’s free, and you don’t have to hand over a password to get it.
How it works
Four steps, one of which is yours. The rest happen while you watch.
Tell us your handle
Pick Instagram or TikTok and type your username. If you like, add one sentence about what the site is for — “booking commissions”, “my bakery”, “just me” — and the design will lean that way.
We read your public profile
Your name, bio, profile photo, follower count and the imagery from your grid — story highlight covers on Instagram, your clips on TikTok. Only what anyone can already see. No login, no permissions, nothing to connect.
AI designs a page around you
Our designer looks at your actual pictures and picks colours, type and layout to match them — so a pastel ceramicist and a neon DJ don’t get the same page. It writes the copy from your bio, adds a working contact form and a newsletter sign-up, and makes sure it all fits on a phone.
It goes live
Your images are copied to our servers so they never break, and the page is published. You get a link straight away. Create a free account to claim it and it moves to a short address here: pretty.cool/yourhandle.
What you get for free
- A designed one-page site Hero, gallery, about, links, newsletter and contact — built for your content, not a template with your name dropped in.
- Your own address Claim the site and it lives at pretty.cool/yourhandle, served by us.
- Hosting Fast, secure, and looked after. There’s nothing to install or update.
- A working contact form Messages from visitors land in your inbox.
- A newsletter sign-up form Visitors join your mailing list right on your page — up to 2,000 contacts free. Download the list for Mailchimp, Gmail or Outlook any time from My Account.
- An About page Your full bio, your profile link and how to get in touch, on its own page.
- Video on TikTok sites Your clips play in the hero and embed in a video section.
- A spot in the Creators directory Claimed sites are listed on our Creators page and in our sitemap, so search engines find you.
- Your images, safe Instagram and TikTok image links expire within hours. Ours don’t, because we keep a copy beside your site.
When you’re ready for more
The free page is a complete site. These are the things people ask for next. Design changes are a one-time purchase; the rest are yearly subscriptions. All go through our normal checkout, and each gets its own page in My Account where you set it up and see where it stands.
Custom domain name
Yearly subscription
Put your page on a domain of your own — yourname.com instead of getprettycool.com/yourname.
- Bring a domain you already own, or one you’ve just bought.
- We give you the exact records to add at your registrar and check them for you, every fifteen minutes, until they’re right.
- Once it verifies we handle the certificate and the switch-over. Your page then tells search engines that your domain is the real address.
- Renews yearly; cancel any time from My Account and your page goes back to its getprettycool.com address.

Custom design changes
One-time
Your colours, your copy, the sections you actually want. Change the page by describing what you’d like.
- It’s a chat. Say “the green is too bright”, “put my email above the gallery”, “drop the second section” — in your own words.
- Changes are made to your live page in a minute or two, and everything you didn’t mention is left alone.
- Every change comes with an undo. Our team can join the thread if something needs a human eye.
- Each purchase comes with an allowance of changes; a meter on the page shows how much you’ve used, and you can buy more whenever you need it.
Stripe Catalog
Yearly subscription
Sell from your page. A shop section appears on your site with a checkout for each product — paid straight to you.
- Connect your Stripe account (or create one) with a single button.
- Add and manage products in your own Stripe dashboard — prints, sessions, merch, digital downloads, subscriptions.
- Tick which of your pages should show the shop. Visitors buy through Stripe’s secure checkout and the money lands in your Stripe balance.
- Renews yearly; cancel any time from My Account and the shop section comes off your page.

- Applies to every page on your account, not just one.
- Packs stack — add another whenever you need more room.
- If your list fills up, new sign-ups pause and we email you straight away. Nobody already on it is affected.

Things people ask
Is it really free?
Yes. The site, the hosting, the address here, the contact form and the newsletter sign-up (up to 2,000 contacts) cost nothing. The upgrades above are optional, and you’ll never be charged for something you didn’t buy.
Do I have to give you my Instagram or TikTok password?
No, and we’d never ask. We read only what your public profile already shows to anyone on the internet. There’s no login, no app authorisation, nothing to revoke later.
My profile is private. Will it work?
Not until it’s public. We can only see what’s public. Switch it to public, make your site, and you’re welcome to switch back afterwards — your site keeps the copy it took.
What if my profile is missing something, or the photos didn’t come through?
Instagram and TikTok change how they show profiles without warning, so now and then a read comes back light. If your page isn’t what you hoped, try again later or get in touch and we’ll take a look.
Do I need an account?
Not to make a site — you’ll get a link without one. Creating a free account is how you claim it: that moves it to pretty.cool/yourhandle, lists it in Creators, lets search engines index it, and gives you a place to manage it and any upgrades.
Can somebody else make a site with my handle?
Anyone can generate a page from a public profile, but only you can claim it, and unclaimed pages are hidden from search engines. If you find a page for your handle you didn’t make, claim it or contact us and we’ll sort it out.
Will my site show up in Google?
Once you’ve claimed it, yes: it gets a proper address, is listed in our sitemap, and links from your Creators listing. Put it on your own domain and that becomes the address search engines are told about.
How do I email my newsletter subscribers?
Open My Account → Newsletter and download your list in the format your email tool wants — Mailchimp, Gmail (through Google Contacts), Outlook, a spreadsheet, or a plain list of addresses to paste into Bcc — then send from there. Those tools take care of unsubscribes and delivery for you. Anyone who ticks the newsletter box on your contact form lands on the same list.
What happens when my list reaches 2,000?
New sign-ups pause and we email you. Nobody already on the list is affected. Add a newsletter contacts pack, or tidy up the list in My Account, and sign-ups start again straight away.
My site was made before the newsletter arrived. Can I have it?
Yes. Sites made before it launched get the sign-up form the next time they’re regenerated — get in touch and we’ll sort it out for you.
Can I change or delete it?
Yes. You can regenerate it, change what’s on it with the design upgrade, or remove it from your account at any time.
