Custom URLs

Create a memorable, shareable URL for your organizer profile

Custom URLs are fully available! Create your personalized profile link now.

Custom URLs (also called "slugs") let you create a memorable web address for your organizer profile. Instead of a random ID, you can have a clean, professional URL like dasig.org/u/your-name.

Why Use a Custom URL?

Easier to Share

"dasig.org/u/juancruz" is much easier to remember and share than "dasig.org/u/a1b2c3d4-e5f6"

Professional Appearance

Custom URLs make you look more established and credible to potential donors

Better for Social Media

Short, clean URLs look better in tweets, Facebook posts, and printed materials

Brand Recognition

Use your name or organization name to build your personal brand

Custom URL Examples

dasig.org/u/maria-santos

Personal organizer using full name

dasig.org/u/redcross-cebu

Organization with location

dasig.org/u/jdelacruz

Simple username format

dasig.org/u/barangay-tinago

Local government unit

Can I Change My URL Later?

Important: You can change your custom URL, but do so carefully. Old URLs won't redirect automatically, which means:

Links you've shared won't work anymore
People who bookmarked your old URL will get an error
Social media posts with the old link will break

Choose your URL carefully the first time!

Custom URL Best Practices

✓ Keep it short and simple

Shorter URLs are easier to remember and type

✓ Use your real name or organization

Helps with recognition and trust

✓ Be consistent across platforms

Use the same username on social media when possible

✓ Avoid numbers unless meaningful

Numbers like birth years or founding dates are okay

✓ Test it before committing

Say it out loud - is it easy to spell and pronounce?

Troubleshooting

My desired URL is already taken

Try these alternatives:

Add your location: juan-manila
Add your organization type: redcross-quezon
Add the current year: maria2024
Use initials instead of full name: jdc-relief
Add "relief" or "aid": santos-relief

I get an error when saving my custom URL

Check that your URL:

Is between 3-30 characters
Contains only lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens
Doesn't start or end with a hyphen
Isn't a reserved word (admin, api, etc.)
Isn't already taken by another user

Can I have multiple custom URLs?

No, each profile can only have one custom URL at a time. However, if you manage multiple organizations, each organization can have its own custom URL at dasig.org/orgs/[slug].
