Website Builder: How to Add Social Media Icons

Adding social media icons to your website makes it easy for visitors to find your brand or business

Updated over a week ago

Social media icons link to the social media profiles of individuals or organizations associated with the website. This allows visitors to connect, follow, and interact with these individuals or organizations on social media, fostering a sense of community and facilitating further engagement outside the website itself.

Learn how to use this feature in Hostinger Website Builder 💡

Use the Social Icons Element

Expand the Add elements section on the left and drag the Social icons element to the desired place on your web page:

  • To add an email icon, insert your email address:

    Adding an envelope / email icon
  • If the link isn't recognized, the icon won't be automatically generated, and you'll see a standard link symbol 🔗

    • Contact us and share the link you were trying to add: we'll make sure to include the necessary icon into our database as soon as possible

    • There may exist various link formats for the same social media platform, so the more formats you encounter, the better
