Yes, it is possible to use icon sets like FontAwesome or Bootstrap icons in Webflow. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Choose a preferred icon set: FontAwesome and Bootstrap both offer a wide variety of icons to choose from. You can visit their websites to browse through the available icons and select the ones you want to use on your Webflow site.

  2. Obtain the icon set code: FontAwesome and Bootstrap provide code snippets that need to be added to your site to enable the use of their icons. FontAwesome usually requires you to include a link to their stylesheet in the <head> section of your HTML, while Bootstrap icons may require you to add a specific CSS file or include their CDN link.

  3. Add the code to Webflow: To add the code to your Webflow project, follow these steps:

  • Open your Webflow project in the Designer.
  • Go to the Project Settings from the top-right corner.
  • In the Project Settings, select the Custom Code tab.
  • In the Footer Code section, paste the code snippet obtained from FontAwesome or Bootstrap.
  • Save the changes.
  1. Add icons to your site: Once you have added the code, you can start using the icons in your Webflow project.
  • Open a page in the Designer.
  • Add an HTML Embed element to the desired location on your page.
  • Inside the HTML Embed element, use the appropriate HTML code provided by the icon set to insert an icon. For example, to add a FontAwesome icon, you would use the <i> element with the appropriate class name.

By following these steps, you can easily incorporate icon sets like FontAwesome or Bootstrap icons into your Webflow site.
