Comparison
WebsiteKit vs Linktree for Authors
A link page is not a website. Your author career deserves more than a list of buttons.
Where Linktree falls short for authors
No book catalog
Linktree is a vertical list of links. No covers, no series pages, no book descriptions. Your readers see buttons, not books.
No direct sales
Linktree can link to Amazon. It can't sell your book. You're sending readers away from your page instead of converting them on the spot.
No blog
You can't publish content on Linktree. No blog posts, no announcements, no long-form writing. It's a link page, not a platform.
No custom domain (free)
Free Linktree gives you linktr.ee/yourname. That's not a professional author presence. Folio gives you yourname.com.

The verdict
Linktree is fine for a social media bio link. But it's not an author website. If you have more than one book — or plan to — you need a real website. That's what Folio is.
