Walkthrough: making a Page

This is the whole thing, screen by screen. It takes about twenty seconds, and the sign-in only shows up at the end.

1. Pick your address

Everything starts at pages.bearlog.app/app. One field, and the field is the product: the address people will type, tap or scan to get to you.

The Pages claim screen: a single field reading pages.bearlog.app/@yourname, with a Claim it button below it.

The claim screen. Nothing to fill in but the handle.

2. Check it reads right

Type a handle and it is checked while you type. Free handles come back Yours. and the button goes live; taken ones say so before you have invested anything in them.

The confirm step, headed Almost yours, with the handle anareyes typed in and the word Yours under it.

Handles are first come, first served, so the short ones go early.

3. The editor opens

No account yet, nothing to confirm, no email. The editor is two halves: what you are on the left, what everyone else sees on the right, updating as you type.

Fill in your name, what you do, and a line about yourself. Add your links — each one picks up its own little logo, so a visitor scanning the page finds Instagram by shape rather than by reading.

The editor: a form on the left with name, what you do and one line about you filled in, and on the right a live preview of the page inside a small browser frame.

The address sits top left the whole time, and Publish top right.

4. Pick a look

Themes are a row of tiles: Classic, Resume, Chalkboard and Clinic are free, with the paid ones priced on the tile itself. Tap one and the whole page changes, including the preview. You can try every one before deciding, and change it again next week.

The Theme panel: a grid of tiles, each a two-tone swatch with its name and either the word free or a price, Glass selected, and an Effect grid below it.

Try any of them. You only pay for the one you publish, once.

5. Publish

The Google sign-in happens here and nowhere earlier. It exists for one reason: to prove the page is yours, so nobody can take it from you later. A second after that, the page is live at your address.

The page itself: name, what you do, a line about you, a Save contact button, the links each with their own logo, and a Good to know panel.

The preview is the page. Same HTML, links switched off so the pane cannot navigate away from what you are editing.

6. What the other person gets

They open the link, tap Save contact, and your name and number are in their phone. Nothing to install on either side. Every page carries its own scannable code, so you can be added by someone across a table without saying a word.

The same page at phone width: the name, Save contact, Call the shop, and the links stacked underneath.

Save contact is free and always will be. So is Good to know.

Change your links, your look or your number later and the address stays the same. That matters more than it sounds: it is the reason a printed card can outlive the job you had when you ordered it.
