Adding Font Awesome icons to your Webflow website can greatly enhance its visual appeal and user experience. Font Awesome is a popular icon toolkit that provides a wide range of icons that you can easily integrate into your website. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to add Font Awesome icons to your Webflow project.
Step 1: Sign Up and Get Started
If you haven’t already, head over to the Font Awesome website and sign up for an account. You can choose either a free or a paid plan depending on your requirements.
Note: The free plan offers limited features and icons, while the paid plans provide access to a larger collection of icons and additional customization options.
Step 2: Generate Embed Code
Once you have signed up and logged in, navigate to the Kits section in the Font Awesome dashboard. Click on the + New Kit button to create a new kit for your Webflow project.
In the kit settings, give your kit a name and select the desired icon style (such as Solid, Regular, or Brands). You can also customize other settings like default colors and sizes if needed.
Tip: It’s recommended to enable the ‘Pro Only’ filter if you’re using the free plan, as it will show only the icons available in the free version.
After configuring your kit settings, click on the Create Kit button. This will generate an embed code that you’ll need to add to your Webflow project.
Step 3: Add Embed Code to Webflow
In Webflow, open your project and navigate to the page where you want to add the Font Awesome icons. Open the Settings panel on the right side of the designer and select Custom Code.
Inside the Head Code section, paste the embed code generated in Step 2. Make sure to place it between the opening <head> and closing </head> tags.
Note: If you want to add Font Awesome icons across all pages of your Webflow project, you can paste the embed code in the Project Settings.
Step 4: Using Font Awesome Icons in Webflow
Now that you have added Font Awesome to your Webflow project, you can start using its icons throughout your website.
To add an icon to an element, select the desired element (such as a heading or a button) and click on the ‘+’ icon next to its text or content settings.
In the pop-up menu, select ‘Add Symbol’ and then choose ‘Font Awesome’. This will open a window where you can search for and select your desired icon from Font Awesome’s extensive library.
Note: You can also apply additional styling options like size, color, rotation, etc., using Webflow’s native styling options or custom CSS if required.
