Hostinger Website Builder: How to Add Social Media Icons in Your Header

Learn how to add social media icons inside your website’s header

Updated 2 weeks 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.

Insert links to your social media profiles, and we’ll generate the icons for you automatically! For instance, if you insert a link to your LinkedIn profile, the LinkedIn icon will be displayed automatically 💡

To add a social media icon to your website’s header, click on the header section and select Edit header:
