How Do I Add Icons to Webflow Button?

Adding icons to buttons in Webflow can enhance the visual appeal and user experience of your website. In this tutorial, we will explore how to add icons to Webflow buttons using simple HTML and CSS.

To get started, let’s create a basic button using the tag:

Step 1: Creating a Button

To create a button, you can use the

tag followed by the desired text. Here’s an example:

“`

Click Me
“`

In the above code, we have created a button with the class “my-button” and the text “Click Me”. Now, let’s move on to adding an icon to this button.

Step 2: Adding an Icon

To add an icon, we will use a combination of HTML and CSS. First, let’s choose an icon library like Font Awesome or Ionicons. These libraries provide a wide range of icons that you can use.

For this tutorial, let’s assume we are using Font Awesome. To include Font Awesome in your project, you need to add their CSS file in your HTML document. You can do this by adding the following line of code within the section:

“` “`

Make sure to place this line before the closing tag.

Once you have included Font Awesome, you can use their icon classes within your button element.

Here’s an example of adding a search icon to our button:

“`
Click Me
“`

In the above code, we added an tag with the class “fas fa-search”, which is a Font Awesome search icon. The icon is placed before the button text using the tag.

Step 3: Styling the Button

Now that we have added an icon to our button, let’s style it to make it visually appealing.

To style the button, you can use CSS. You can either add inline styles directly to the button element or define a separate CSS class and apply it to the button.

Here’s an example of adding some basic styles to our button:

“`html
Click Me

“`

In the above code, we added a

```

In this code, we added a new CSS rule Targeting the tag inside our button when hovered over. We applied a transform property with rotate(360deg) value, which will rotate the icon 360 degrees on hover.

You can experiment with different CSS properties and values to create various effects for your icons.
