by

Are you looking to add social media buttons to your Webflow website? Look no further!

In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through the step-by-step process of adding social media buttons to your Webflow site. Let’s get started!

Step 1: Choose your social media icons

Before we begin, decide which social media icons you want to include on your website. There are various icon libraries available online where you can find a wide range of social media icons.

Some popular options include Font Awesome, Material Design Icons, and Flaticon. Once you have chosen the icons that best suit your needs, download them and save them in a folder on your computer.

Step 2: Upload the icon files to Webflow

To make the icons accessible in Webflow, you need to upload the icon files to your project’s assets. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Click on the Assets tab in the Webflow Designer.
  2. Drag and drop the icon files from your computer into the assets panel.
  3. Select each file and give it a meaningful name for easy identification.
  4. Click on Save Changes.

Step 3: Add HTML embed element

To add social media buttons using HTML embed element:

  1. Navigate to the page where you want to add the buttons.
  2. Add a new section
    • In Webflow Designer, click on the plus (+) button on top of an existing section or container.
    • Select the “Section” element.
  3. Drag and drop an HTML embed element into the section.
  4. Paste the following code snippet into the embed element:
<div class="social-media-buttons">
  <a href="#"><img src="path-to-your-icon-file" alt="Facebook"></a>
  <a href="#"><img src="path-to-your-icon-file" alt="Twitter"></a>
  <a href="#"><img src="path-to-your-icon-file" alt="Instagram"></a>
</div>

Note: Replace “path-to-your-icon-file” with the actual path to your icon file. Repeat the line <a href=”#”><img src=”path-to-your-icon-file” alt=”Social-Media-Platform-Name”></a> for each social media button you want to add, replacing “Social-Media-Platform-Name” with the appropriate name.

Step 4: Style your social media buttons

To style your social media buttons, add custom CSS to your Webflow project. Here’s an example of how you can style the social media buttons:

.social-media-buttons {
  display: flex;
}social-media-buttons a {
  margin-right: 10px;
}social-media-buttons img {
  width: 30px;
}

You can modify the CSS according to your desired styling preferences. Feel free to experiment with different colors, sizes, and positioning to match your website’s design.

Step 5: Publish your changes

Once you’re done styling the social media buttons, click on the Publish button in the Webflow Designer to make your changes live. Now, your visitors will be able to see and interact with the social media buttons on your Webflow site.

Congratulations! You have successfully added social media buttons to your Webflow website. Now you can share your content and grow your online presence through various social media platforms.

Remember, having easily accessible social media buttons encourages visitors to engage with your content and share it with their own networks. So, go ahead and implement these steps on your Webflow site today!
