How to add social media icons with links in Webflow?

Step 1: Open Webflow Project

First things first, open up the Webflow project where you want to add those snazzy social media icons.

Step 2: Add a Container or Section

Head over to the Navigator panel and decide where you want to place the social media icons. Could be in the header, footer, or any specific section of your page.

  • Drag a Container or Section element from the Add panel (press A) to the spot you picked on the canvas.

Step 3: Add Link Block

Now, inside that new container or section:

  • Drag a Link Block from the Add panel into the container or section. Easy peasy.

Step 4: Add an Image Element

Inside the Link Block:

  • Drag an Image element from the Add panel into the Link Block.

  • Swap out the default image with a social media icon by clicking on the Choose Image button and uploading/selecting the right icon from your assets.

Step 5: Repeat for Each Social Media Platform

Want more icons? Just duplicate the Link Block you made:

  • Right-click on the Link Block and select Duplicate.
  • Change the image in each Link Block to match different social media platforms by repeating Step 4.

Step 6: Set Link URLs

Time to make those icons functional! Set each Link Block to point to the right social media page:

  • Click on a Link Block to select it.
  • In the Settings panel (press D), find the Link Settings.
  • Enter the URL for the corresponding social media profile.

Do this for each social media Link Block.

Step 7: Style the Icons

Make those icons look sharp and fit your design:

  • Select each Link Block or Image element.
  • Use the Styles panel (press S) to adjust paddings, margins, sizes, and other styles as needed.

Step 8: Preview and Publish

After you've arranged and styled your icons:

  • Click on the Preview button to see how your social media icons look in action.
  • Make any tweaks if needed.
  • Publish the site by clicking the Publish button in the upper-right corner.

And there you have it! A set of clickable social media icons in Webflow, all linked up to their respective pages.
