Your creator page is your home base on Patreon. You can customize its look and feel at any time, so it reflects your brand and gives fans a clear sense of who you are. This guide is meant for creators who want a complete reference on where to find and edit all the customization settings for their page.
If you're a new creator who hasn't launched yet, we recommend starting with our Launch checklist to get set up.
This article covers both the new creator page and the legacy version. If you haven't published your page to opt into the new creator page, you'll still have access to the legacy creator page. You can learn more about the new experience in our Your updated creator page guide.
