Share / follow icons

Share and follow icons are essential elements for modern websites. They allow visitors to easily share your content on social media platforms or follow your brand’s social accounts. This guide explains how to implement share and follow icons using simple HTML and CSS.

Common Share Icons

Some of the most popular share icons include Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and WhatsApp. Each platform provides a share URL that you can customize with your page title and URL.

Follow Icons

Follow icons connect users to your social profiles. Common follow icons are Instagram, YouTube, Facebook Page, Twitter Profile, and LinkedIn Company Page. Place these icons in your site header, footer, or sidebar for maximum visibility.

Implementation Tips

When adding icons, use accessible labels (aria-label or hidden text) so screen readers can identify each icon. Ensure all icons have appropriate sizes for touch targets (at least 44px). Use consistent styling to match your site design.
