# Your public links and web address

> Every client-facing link CoreHue creates, from galleries and booking pages to invoices and contracts, how your web address works and what breaks a link.

Source: https://help.corehue.co/docs/getting-started/your-public-links/

Almost everything you send a client is a web page with its own address. CoreHue builds those addresses for you, but it helps to know what they look like, so you recognize one when a client pastes it back asking why it won't open.

## Your web address

Every public link starts with the CoreHue URL you picked during setup:

```
yourname.corehue.co
```

On Plus and Pro you can connect your own domain, like `photos.yourstudio.com`, and every link below works on it too. Your `corehue.co` address keeps working as a backup either way. See [Connecting a custom domain](/docs/account/connecting-a-custom-domain).

## The links CoreHue creates

| What it is | What the address looks like |
| --- | --- |
| Your booking page | `yourname.corehue.co/services` |
| One service | `yourname.corehue.co/services/family-portraits` |
| A client's booking page | `yourname.corehue.co/booking/a1b2c3` |
| An inquiry receipt | `yourname.corehue.co/inquiry/a1b2c3` |
| A gallery | `yourname.corehue.co/smith-wedding` |
| A chapter in a gallery | `yourname.corehue.co/smith-wedding/ceremony` |
| A single photo | `yourname.corehue.co/smith-wedding/p/a1b2c3` |
| A single video | `yourname.corehue.co/smith-wedding/v/a1b2c3` |
| A shared collection | `yourname.corehue.co/smith-wedding/f/a1b2c3` |
| A gallery download page | `yourname.corehue.co/smith-wedding/download` |
| An invoice | `yourname.corehue.co/i/a1b2c3` |
| A proposal | `yourname.corehue.co/proposal/a1b2c3` |
| A contract | `yourname.corehue.co/contract/a1b2c3` |
| A questionnaire | `yourname.corehue.co/q/a1b2c3` |
| A contact form | `yourname.corehue.co/contact-form/a1b2c3` |

Galleries and services use a readable name you can edit. Everything else uses a short random code, so nobody can guess someone else's invoice by changing a number.

Older links that start with `/book` or `/intake-form/` still work and forward to the new addresses, so anything you've already posted keeps working.

There isn't a homepage at the bare `yourname.corehue.co` address. To send people somewhere general, use your booking page at `/services`, or your own website.

## Who can open what

**Anyone with the link.** Booking pages, invoices, proposals, contracts and questionnaires open for whoever has the link. Their addresses are long and random, which keeps them private in practice.

**Galleries can have extra locks.** A gallery password for everyone, a private client password, email registration and a download PIN. See [Who can see your gallery](/docs/gallery-sharing/who-can-see-your-gallery).

## Why a link might not work

The usual reasons:

- **The gallery is unlisted or its expiry date passed.** An expired gallery tells visitors to contact you for access. See [Setting a gallery expiry date](/docs/galleries/gallery-expiry-dates).
- **It was never published.** Draft galleries, services and contact forms aren't reachable.
- **The gallery is restricted** because your account is over its storage limit. Clients see "This page isn't available".
- **Your booking page is off, or the service is unpublished.** Service links stop working until both are live.
- **The address changed.** Editing a gallery's URL, or your CoreHue URL, breaks the old link.

For a step-by-step fix, see [My client can't open their gallery](/docs/troubleshooting/client-cant-open-gallery).

## Changing your CoreHue URL

You can change your CoreHue URL under **Settings → Profile**. It changes the start of every link at once, so every gallery, invoice and booking link you've already sent stops working. If you'd like a more professional address, connecting a custom domain is usually the better move because your `corehue.co` links keep working. See [Changing your CoreHue URL](/docs/account/your-corehue-url).

## Sharing links well

**Send from CoreHue where you can.** Galleries, invoices, proposals, contracts and questionnaires each have a send screen that emails a proper message with the link, and keeps a record that you sent it.

**Copy the link when you'd rather send it yourself**, for example in WhatsApp. Each of those has a **Share** option with a copy button.

**Send the codes with the link.** Gallery passwords and download PINs are separate from the link. The gallery email can include them for you.

**Test it first.** Open the link in a private or incognito window. You'll see exactly what your client sees, signed out.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can I use my own domain for galleries and booking?

Yes, on Plus and Pro. Every client-facing page works on it, and your `corehue.co` address stays as a backup.

### If I rename a gallery, does the link change?

Renaming the title doesn't. Changing the **Gallery URL** under the gallery's sharing settings does, and the old link stops working. See [Changing a gallery's web address](/docs/gallery-sharing/changing-your-gallery-address).

### Is my client's invoice link private?

The address is long and random, so it can't be guessed. Anyone your client forwards it to can open it, so treat it like a private email.

### What happens to my custom domain if I move to Free?

It's disconnected straight away, so links that use your own domain stop working while your `corehue.co` links carry on. Upgrade and choose **Reconnect domain** to bring it back.
