Are you looking to add a clickable phone number on your website built with Webflow? Adding a link to a phone number can be quite useful for visitors who access your website from their mobile devices. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of linking a phone number in Webflow and ensure that your users can simply tap the number to make a call.
Step 1: Prepare the Phone Number
The first step is to format the phone number correctly. To do this, you need to remove any spaces, dashes, or parentheses from the number. For example, if your phone number is (123) 456-7890, it should be formatted as 1234567890.
Step 2: Create an HTML Element
To link a phone number in Webflow, you need to create an HTML element. This can be done by following these steps:
- Open your Webflow project and navigate to the page where you want to add the linked phone number.
- Add a new HTML element by clicking on the “+” icon in the Webflow Designer’s toolbar.
- Select “Embed” from the list of available elements.
Note: If you already have an existing element that you want to turn into a clickable phone number, simply select that element instead of adding a new one.
Step 3: Add Link Code
Now that we have our HTML element ready, it’s time to add the code for linking the phone number:
- For Inline Text:
If you want to link inline text like “Call us at [phone number],” follow these steps:
- Double-click on the HTML element to open the code editor.
- Wrap the phone number in an anchor tag, like this:
<a href="tel:1234567890">1234567890</a>. - Replace “1234567890” with your formatted phone number.
- Click outside the code editor to save your changes.
- For Block Text or Headings:
If you want to link block text or headings, such as your business name or a specific call-to-action, follow these steps:
- Select the text or heading within the HTML element.
- In the Webflow Designer’s toolbar, click on the link icon (represented by a chain symbol).
- In the link settings, enter “tel:1234567890” as the URL, replacing “1234567890” with your formatted phone number.
Step 4: Publish Your Changes
The final step is to publish your changes so that they take effect on your live website. Click on the “Publish” button in the top-right corner of Webflow Designer, and wait for the publishing process to complete.
Congratulations!
You have successfully linked a phone number in Webflow. Now when visitors access your website from their mobile devices and tap on the phone number, their device will automatically initiate a call. This enhances user experience and makes it easier for potential customers to reach out to you directly.
Remember to test the phone number link after publishing to ensure it functions correctly on different devices and browsers.
