How can I recreate Wired Magazine's social media share bar on my Webflow site?
To recreate Wired Magazine's social media share bar on your Webflow site, you can follow these steps:
Create custom classes: Start by creating custom classes for each element that will make up the share bar, such as the container, the social media icons, and the share count. Use Webflow's Class Editor to give these elements the desired styles and positioning.
Add the share bar container: Drag and drop a "Div Block" element onto your page. This will act as the container for the share bar. Apply the custom class you created for it.
Add the social media icons: Inside the container, add individual "Link Block" elements for each social media platform you want to include in the share bar. You can use Webflow's "Social Links" component or add custom images/icons for each platform. Apply the relevant custom class to each social media icon.
Style the social media icons: Use the Class Editor to style each social media icon. You can set the size, position, color, hover effects, and any other desired styling.
Add share count: If you want to include a share count next to each social media icon, you can use Webflow's CMS functionality or a third-party tool. For example, you can use a service like ShareThis or AddToAny to generate share count code. Place the code inside each Link Block element, next to the social media icon, or within a separate element that you position accordingly.
Add interaction: To make the social media icons interactive, you can use Webflow's interactions feature. For example, you can create a hover interaction that changes the color or scale of the icons. You can also add click interactions to open a new window/tab for sharing on each social media platform.
Test and optimize: Before publishing your Webflow site, make sure to thoroughly test the share bar across different devices and browsers. Optimize the share bar for performance by minimizing image sizes, enabling caching, and using Webflow's built-in optimization tools.
By following these steps, you can recreate Wired Magazine's social media share bar on your Webflow site and customize it to fit your design requirements.
