Add spacer or divider to improve page layout

The Spacer & Divider Block adds visual breathing room or a horizontal line between other blocks. It is the smallest, most utilitarian block in UniLink — but the right one for pages that feel cramped or lack visual rhythm. Spacers add empty vertical space; dividers add a horizontal line (solid, dashed, dotted, or custom color). Both improve scannability by giving visitors visual rest points between content sections.
Use cases
Concrete patterns we see UniLink creators apply most. Pick the closest to your situation as a starting point.
Section separation on busy pages
When your bio has 8+ blocks back-to-back, dividers signal "new section starts here" — preventing visual overload and helping visitors know where to pause and reorient.
Breathing room in dense layouts
Between visually heavy blocks (Gallery, Banner, Video) — a small spacer prevents them from running into each other. Dense pages with no spacing feel oppressive; right amount of space feels intentional.
Rhythmic visual pacing
Alternating content blocks with small spacers creates rhythm — visitors absorb each block, pause, then absorb the next. Without pacing, the eye races through and remembers little.
Custom branded dividers
Some brands customize divider style — color, dash pattern, ornament — to reinforce brand visual language. Subtle, but cumulative impact across the page.
How to add this block
From marketplace install to live on your link in bio. Each step takes seconds; the writing is what takes time.
- 1
Add the block from the marketplace
Open your UniLink dashboard and drop the block where it solves a specific need on your page — typically as part of a larger composition rather than the centerpiece.
- 2
Configure the specific behavior
Utility blocks have settings unique to their purpose. Take a minute to read the inline help — small misconfigurations here cause big issues at scale.
- 3
Test in preview mode
Before publishing, click "Preview" to see exactly how the block behaves for visitors. Some utility blocks (like unlock or chat) only fire in published pages, so preview is your last chance to catch issues.
- 4
Combine with other blocks
Utility blocks rarely stand alone. They support the main content blocks around them. Make sure the surrounding context tells visitors why this utility matters.
- 5
Publish and verify on mobile
Hit publish, then test on a real mobile device. Utility blocks often involve interactivity that behaves differently on touch vs. mouse — verify on the device most visitors actually use.
Best practices that move the needle
Small changes in writing or curation that consistently improve conversion.
Don't over-engineer simple pages
Utility blocks add power but also add complexity. If your page is doing fine without one, adding it just to "improve" things often backfires. Add only when you have a specific problem to solve.
One utility purpose per block
Trying to make a single utility block do three things at once usually fails. Use multiple blocks each focused on a single purpose — clearer for you to maintain and clearer for visitors to use.
Document your configuration
Utility settings are easy to forget. Add a short note in your project doc or page description so future-you (or a teammate) knows why this block is configured this specific way.
Disable rather than delete
When a utility no longer fits, hide or disable it instead of deleting. Easier to bring back when needs change, and you preserve the configuration history.
Frequently asked questions
What is a Spacer & Divider Block in a link in bio?
A Spacer & Divider Block adds empty vertical space (spacer) or a horizontal line (divider) between other blocks on your link in bio page. It's the simplest block in UniLink, but useful for visual rhythm and section separation.
Spacer or divider — which should I use?
Spacer for subtle breathing room (just empty space); divider for explicit section change (visible line). Spacers feel quieter; dividers feel more declarative. Use spacers as default; reach for dividers when you specifically need to signal a section break.
How much space should a spacer add?
UniLink offers small (24px), medium (48px), large (72px), and custom heights. Medium is the most common; reserve large for major section changes. Avoid stacking multiple large spacers — that's a sign your page structure is wrong, not that you need more space.
Should every block have a divider after it?
No. Dividers between every block create visual noise — the page reads as a fragmented list rather than a flowing whole. Use dividers sparingly: 2-4 per page at most, signaling actual section breaks rather than block-by-block separation.
Is the Spacer & Divider Block free on UniLink?
Yes. The Spacer & Divider Block is included on every UniLink plan, including the free tier. No limits on the number you can use.
