What belongs on your page: the 14 ShaynOrbit blocks

You can build your page from 14 block types, and a good page usually uses only three to five of them. Rather than adding everything available, pick each block for a specific job: send a visitor somewhere, play your work, collect an enquiry, or show proof. This guide walks through all 14, what each one needs before your page can go live, and how to show a block only to the right people or only for a set time.

Choose blocks by the job they do

Every block falls into one of four groups. If you are unsure where to start, decide which group your page is missing first.

Point a visitor somewhere

• Link — a single destination with an optional one-line description and a featured toggle for the ones that matter most.
• Text — a heading and up to 5,000 characters of body copy, for the story a button cannot tell.
• Image — an uploaded photo or graphic with alt text, and an optional link.
• Divider — a labelled break that separates groups of blocks without adding a heading.

Play your work

• Video — paste a YouTube or Vimeo link and it becomes a playable embed.
• Music — paste a Spotify track, album, playlist, episode or show link.

Collect an enquiry or a signup

• Contact — a short block that shows your email and a button, so a visitor knows how to reach you.
• Newsletter — an email signup that uses double opt-in, so subscribers confirm before they are added.
• Booking — points to your own scheduling link and labels the appointment length; the booking itself happens on the service you already use.
• Event / webinar — a dated listing with a duration, a location and an optional link.

Show proof or an offer

• Testimonial — a real quote with the author's name and role.
• Questions & answers — up to 12 question-and-answer pairs in a single FAQ block.
• Product / service — an image, a price label and a link to where the purchase actually happens.
• Media kit — a press-ready summary with up to six stats and a collaboration email.

What each block needs before you publish

ShaynOrbit checks your blocks when you go live, so a few blocks need information first. If something is missing, the page names the block to fix rather than publishing an empty section.

• Link, product and booking blocks each need a destination URL.
• Image needs an uploaded file, and video or music need a supported YouTube, Vimeo or Spotify URL.
• Contact and media kit need an email address.
• Event needs a date, and the FAQ block needs both a question and an answer in every pair.
• Testimonial needs a quote and its author.
• Every block except text needs a title.

A testimonial only works if it is real. Write down what someone actually said, with permission, rather than a paraphrase that sounds stronger than the original.

Show a block to the right people, or only for a while

Each block has an "Audience & schedule" section. Under Show to you can limit a block to Everyone, Explore, Hire me or Shop, which is useful when one page does two jobs, such as a portfolio and a shop. Audience groups become available once visitor paths are enabled in Grow.

Under Show from and Hide after, you can give a block a start and end time. Leave both blank for no limit. The date pickers use your device's timezone and store the value in UTC, so an event block can disappear on its own once the event is over. A block that is switched off, or currently outside its window, is left out of the public page and its structured data, so hidden blocks do not leak into search results.

Limits worth knowing

• The product block presents an offer; the purchase happens on the page you link to, so keep that destination current.
• Video embeds support YouTube and Vimeo, and music embeds support Spotify.
• Your page can live at your username address straight away, and you can connect a domain you own when you are ready.

Next step

Plan the three or four blocks your visitor actually needs, then check the arrangement against a better bio-link page before you add more. If the page is ready for a branded address, that is the natural next move.
