I recommend pasting the code into a plain text document for safekeeping. But be careful using a word processing app because it can add formatting that may break the code.

Most website builders will have designated ways to insert HTML code. If you’re not sure where to paste the code, you will need to contact your web host, web designer, or developer for help. I’ve also provided a few links below that may be of use. More answers can be found in our FAQ section.

Social Follow Icons vs. Social Share Buttons

When it comes to social media icons and buttons, there are two major players in the game: follow icons and share buttons. But what’s the deal with each, and why should you care? Well, here’s the breakdown.

Social Follow Buttons

Follow buttons are all about guiding your website visitors to your social media profiles. Click on one of these, and boom—you’re checking out a brand’s Facebook, TikTok, or Instagram page. It’s here that people can hit “follow” and join your online community.

Here at NiftyButtons, this is our jam. We create these follow icons to help businesses grow their social media followers, which in turn, broadens their reach and strengthens their online presence.

So, What About Share Buttons?

On the flip side, you’ve got share buttons. These handy little things let people share your content—like a blog post or a product—straight from your website to their social media profiles. It’s a quick and easy way for your visitors to show their followers what they’re digging on your site.

Which One’s For You?

So, should you go with follow icons or share buttons? Well, we recomend both! We just haven’t developed our own share buttons so you may need to do a Google search or two to find the right share button options for your site. Luckily, many website builders have features and plugins that can do this for you with a flick of a switch.
