How to add Facebook or Instagram to your website easily

Adding Facebook and Instagram to your website is a great way to show you are passionate about your business; going with current trends, technologies and updating your website with new content regularly.

I’ve mentioned in a previous blog why it is essential to use social media for business.

There are a few ways to add Facebook or Instagram to your website.

  • The widgets from Facebook or Instagram which work well but may be difficult to style them to be consistent with your website brand
  • Free Plugins from the WordPress repository which do work, may lack features on how to show your feed or organize which posts can or cannot be seen. Sometimes tricky to install.
  • Using a professional paid plugin

I would recommend to try all of them and see which plugin best suits your needs and preferences. If you are struggling to get it to work, don’t have time, having problems, it won’t display correctly or compatibility problems. Then I would recommend taking a look at Smashing Balloon for their Social Media Custom Plugins.

I’ve been using their plugins for quite a few years and have found it very easy to install and deploy a feed. Read below some of the reasons why this plugin is beating the competition!

Once you have read through and would like to try their plugin, visit their website on the link above and give it a go. Or if you would like us to install the plugin for you for a small yearly fee, we would be happy to do that. Send an email to me at anthony@silvermarbles.co.uk and I will get back to you shortly.
