The Bounley dashboard on a phone: the live site at bounley.me/rico with its views and taps, copying the link for every bio, the business card, the QR code and the email signature, all free while Bounley is in beta. Free while in beta ## What’s free A personal brand website with everything you’re on, and the things made from it. No card to enter. 1. **Your website** Live at bounley.me/yourname, with views and taps for the last 30 days. 2. **One link for every bio** TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, wherever people find you. 3. **A digital business card** Made from your site, and it changes when your site does. 4. **A QR code** With your logo in the middle. Scanning it opens your site. 5. **An email signature** For Gmail, Apple Mail and Outlook.

Premium · by invitation ## What Premium adds The part that makes a personal brand look like a business: your name as the address, and as the email. **Video: Your own domain with Bounley Premium** (0:15, https://bounley.com/media/video/bounley-own-domain.mp4). The same Bounley site in a phone’s browser, first at bounley.me/rico (free), then at yourname.com, its own domain (Premium). ### Your own domain The same site at **yourname.com**. A domain is the one address no app can take away. [About your own domain](https://bounley.com/own-your-name) 1. **Free** Your site at bounley.me/yourname, live in about two minutes. 2. **Premium** The same site at yourname.com, a domain with your name on it. 3. **Connect or get one** Bring a domain you own, or get one through Bounley with every record set up. **Video: Email at your own domain with Bounley Premium** (0:17, https://bounley.com/media/video/bounley-email-at-your-domain.mp4). Why an address at your own domain matters when a brand asks where to reach you (yourname2003@gmail.com against you@yourname.com), then the Bounley inbox on a phone: opening a brand’s email and replying from you@yourname.com. Sample messages. ### Email at your domain A professional email address, **you@yourname.com**, with the inbox in Bounley. MX, SPF, DKIM and DMARC are set up for you. [How it works](https://bounley.com/guides/professional-email-address) 1. **A brand reaches out** Their first question is the best email to reach you. 2. **Gmail** yourname2003@gmail.com looks like a side account, easy to pass over. 3. **Your own domain** you@yourname.com looks like a business, and gets the reply. 4. **Your inbox, in Bounley** Mail to you@yourname.com lands right next to your site. 5. **Reply as you** Every email goes out from you@yourname.com, with your signature. During the beta, Premium is by invitation, so every domain is set up with care. To ask for one, email [support@bounley.com](mailto:support@bounley.com).

Your site at bounley.me/yourname, the business card, QR code, email signature and stats are free while Bounley is in beta, with no card. Premium, for your own domain and email, is invitation-only during the beta. ### How long does setting up take? About two minutes: an account, your name, one username, then your accounts, photo and look. Your site is live as soon as you finish. ### Do I need to know how to build a website? No. Bounley builds your personal brand website from your accounts, and you change it by tapping, in your dashboard. ### Can I use a domain I already own? Yes, with Premium. Connect it and your site runs on it; the domain stays registered to you, at your own registrar. ### Why not just use Gmail? You can, and on the free plan you do. A professional email address at your own domain (you@yourname.com) looks more established to brands, clients and employers, and stays yours if you change email provider. ### How do you say and spell Bounley? BOWN-lee, like the start of “bounce”, spelled B-O-U-N-L-E-Y, one word. It was called HandleClub until October 2026. The logo is on [the brand page](https://bounley.com/brand).
