If your business is active on Social Media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter then you\u2019ll want to promote those to your customers and make it easy for them to interact with you on those platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luckily, Website Builder<\/a> has a Social Icons<\/em> <\/strong>widget which allows you to place prominent social media icons on your website and link them to your various pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Click on the Widgets<\/strong><\/em> link within the Website Builder editor and look for the Social Icons<\/strong><\/em> widget. It\u2019s usually located within the Social<\/strong><\/em> category, or you can use the search bar at the top to locate it.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Website<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Drag it over to wherever you would like the icons to appear and you\u2019ll see a pop-up window that allows you to customise them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip:<\/strong> A good place to put the icons is the top right corner of the website, as they\u2019ll be very prominent there and will easily be noticed by visitors to the website.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n

\n
\"Website<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The first step is to select which social media icons you would like to be displayed. Click on whichever ones you would like to use so that they are highlighted with a red border around them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you have chosen the icons to display you should then scroll down and you\u2019ll be able to enter in the full URL to your business page. This is where people will be taken when they click on the relevant icon.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Entering<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Finally, if you want to customise the icons even further then you can click on the Design<\/strong><\/em> tab at the top to access options such as changing their colour, adjusting the space between each one and changing the size.<\/p>\n\n\n
