Adding Social Icons to Webflow
Are you looking to add social icons to your Webflow website?
Adding social icons can make it easier for your visitors to connect with you on various social media platforms.
In this tutorial, we will guide you through step-by-step instructions on how to add social icons to your Webflow website.
Step 1: Find Social Icons
Before we begin, you need to find the social icons that you want to use on your website. There are several websites where you can find free or paid social icon sets.
Some popular options include Font Awesome, Flaticon, and Iconfinder. Once you have chosen the icons that match your design aesthetic, download them to your computer.
Step 2: Prepare Your Icons
Once you have downloaded the social icons, make sure they are in a format that Webflow supports. Typically, Webflow accepts SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) files for icons.
If your downloaded icons are not in SVG format, you can convert them using online tools like SVGOMG or Convertio.
Step 3: Upload Icons to Webflow
Now it’s time to upload the social icon files to Webflow. Log in to your Webflow account and open the project where you want to add the icons.
Go to the Assets panel and click on “Upload”, then select the icon files from your computer and wait for them to upload.
Step 4: Add Social Icon Elements
To add a social icon element, go to the page where you want the icon displayed. Click on the “+” button or press “B” on your keyboard to open the Add Panel.
Search for “link block” or “div block” and drag it onto the page. This will serve as the container for your social icon.
Step 4.1: Link the Icon
Next, select the link block or div block you just added and click on the “Link Settings” tab in the right sidebar. Enter or paste the URL of your social media profile in the “URL” field.
This will make sure that when visitors click on the icon, they will be redirected to your social media page.2: Add Icon Image
Inside the link block or div block, click on the “+” button again to open the Add Panel. This time, search for “image” and drag it inside the link block or div block.
In the right sidebar, click on “Choose Image” and select one of your uploaded social icons from the Assets panel.
Step 5: Style Your Social Icons
Now that you have added social icons to your Webflow website, it’s time to style them to match your design. You can adjust their size, position, color, and hover effects using Webflow’s built-in styling options.
Experiment with different styles until you achieve the desired look for your icons.
Step 6: Repeat for Other Social Icons
To add more social icons, simply repeat steps 4 and 5 for each additional icon you want to include on your website. Remember to link each icon to its respective social media profile and customize their appearance accordingly.
Conclusion
By following these simple steps, you can easily add social icons to your Webflow website. Not only will this enhance user experience by allowing visitors to connect with you on various platforms, but it will also give your website a more professional and engaging look.
So go ahead and give it a try!
