Why Link Social Media to Webflow?

Social media is an essential part of any online presence, and integrating it with your Webflow website can greatly enhance your reach and engagement. By linking your social media profiles to your website, you can easily direct visitors to your social accounts, promote content, and encourage sharing.

Linking Social Media Icons

If you want to add social media icons that link to your profiles, follow these steps:

  1. Select the Social Media Icon: Find an icon that represents the social media platform you want to link. You can either create one yourself or use pre-designed icons available on websites like Font Awesome or Flaticon.
  2. Add the Icon to Your Webflow Website: Once you have the icon ready, upload it to your Webflow project by going to the Assets panel and clicking on the “Upload” button. Make sure you choose a suitable name for the image file.
  3. Drag and Drop a Link Block: In the Designer view of Webflow, navigate to the section of your website where you want to place the social media icon. Drag and drop a Link Block element onto that section.
  4. Add an Image Element: Inside the Link Block, drag and drop an Image element.

    Select the uploaded social media icon as its source in the Image settings panel.

  5. Add a Link: With the Image element selected, go to the settings panel on the right side of Webflow. Add the URL of your social media profile in the “Link URL” field. Remember to include https:// before entering the URL.

Adding Social Media Share Buttons

If you want to allow visitors to share your website content on social media, you can add share buttons. Here’s how:

  1. Choose a Social Sharing Service: There are various social sharing services available, such as AddThis, ShareThis, and AddToAny. Select the one that suits your needs and create an account.
  2. Generate the Share Button Code: Once you have signed up for a social sharing service, they will provide you with a code snippet specifically tailored to your preferences. Copy this code.
  3. Add the Code to Your Webflow Website: In Webflow, navigate to the page where you want to place the share buttons.

    Open the Page Settings panel by clicking on the gear icon in the top-right corner of the Designer view. Paste the code snippet in the “Custom Code” section under “Head & Body Code”.

  4. Position and Style the Share Buttons: Use Webflow’s Designer view to position and style the share buttons according to your website’s design. You can use classes and CSS properties to customize their appearance.
