Which one is the right call
Stay with Beacons if
- Selling digital products directly from the page is the main job you are hiring it for.
- Your income comes from brand deals and you want the tooling built around that workflow.
- You want a storefront first and a portfolio second.
Move to Nameplate if
- The page has to read as a professional portfolio rather than a storefront.
- You are pitching clients or employers and the page needs to carry proof of work.
- You run more than one kind of work and want a separate, properly designed profile for each.
What switching involves
Move the links and the work first, keep selling wherever you sell today — an external store or checkout link is just another block. Nameplate does not process payments for you, so if a built-in storefront is load-bearing for your income, that is a reason to stay put rather than a gap to work around.

Questions people ask before moving
Does Nameplate sell products for me?
No. Nameplate is a presentation and lead-capture tool: it publishes the page, captures form submissions and subscribers, and links out to wherever you sell. Payments run through Stripe for Nameplate's own subscriptions only.
Can I run several profiles from one account?
The free and Starter plans cover one profile. Pro includes five, along with team members and profile duplication, which is the usual reason people move up.
What do the analytics actually show?
Visits and clicks broken down by block, along with country and referrer, plus scans and short-link hits. That is what tells you which piece of work is pulling enquiries.
