How can I add little white or teal icons to my website's menu bar in Webflow to separate the menu items?

TL;DR
  • Use SVGs or icon fonts for icons, upload or embed them in Webflow, and place them manually between navbar menu items.
  • Style the icons for consistent size, spacing, and white or teal color, then test across responsive breakpoints.

You can add white or teal icons between your menu items in Webflow using either custom images or icon fonts (like Font Awesome or SVGs). Here’s how to do it effectively.

1. Choose Your Icon Type

  • SVG icons: Clean and scalable; ideal for design consistency.
  • Icon fonts (e.g., Font Awesome): Fast to implement; good for standard icons.
  • PNG images: Work fine but are less flexible and scalable.

For Webflow, SVGs are recommended for optimal control and quality.

2. Upload or Embed the Icon

  • If using SVGs, go to Assets panel, click Upload, and choose your SVG file.
  • If using icon fonts, such as Font Awesome:
  • Go to Project Settings > Custom Code > Head.
  • Paste the Font Awesome CDN link (e.g., from cdnjs or fontawesome.com).
  • Save and publish the changes.

3. Insert Icons Between Menu Items

  • In the Navigator, locate your Navbar > Nav Menu.
  • Between your Menu Link elements, drag in an Image element (if using SVG or PNG) or Text Span (for icon fonts).
  • Style the icon/image:
  • Set width/height to match your menu line height.
  • Apply margin-left/right to space it from text.
  • Use Filter or Color settings to make it white or teal depending on your UI.

4. Style Icons Consistently

  • Add a class to your icon/image element (e.g., menu-icon) and define:
  • Color: set to white (#FFFFFF) or teal (#00CED1, or your brand color).
  • Use Flexbox on the parent Nav Menu to keep everything aligned horizontally and vertically.
  • Set consistent margin or padding around icons.

5. Test Responsiveness

  • Use Webflow’s preview modes to check how the menu behaves on tablet and mobile views.
  • Adjust icon sizes or spacing using media queries or Webflow’s responsive settings, if needed.

Summary

To add white or teal icons between menu items in your Webflow navbar, use SVGs or icon fonts, insert them manually between link elements, and style them using consistent sizes and spacing. This enhances navigation clarity and visual design.
