How to Embed Elfsight Widgets in Webflow (Takes Under 5 Minutes)

Adding an Elfsight widget to your Webflow site is as easy as copy and paste. Here’s how to do it:

Step-by-Step:

1. Create your widget

Go to Elfsight.com, choose a widget, and customize it using their visual editor.

2. Copy the embed code

Once your widget is ready, Elfsight will generate a short HTML snippet for you.

3. Paste it into Webflow

In your Webflow Designer, drag in an Embed element (from the “Add” panel).
Paste the code inside, click Save & Close.
Publish your site — the widget will appear live.

And that’s it — no plugins, no custom scripting, no backend setup.

Need help pasting the code? Here’s a short Webflow embed tutorial if you’re new to the process.

Customization Tips to Make Elfsight Widgets Feel Native to Webflow

Elfsight widgets work out of the box — but with a few small tweaks, you can make them feel like they were built inside Webflow.

Here’s how:

1. Match Your Fonts and Colors

In Elfsight’s editor, use your Webflow site’s font family, color codes, and spacing.
Stick to the same border radius and padding used across your site for a clean, consistent look.
If you're using Webflow Variables or Components, this guide on Webflow components and slots can help you align widget styling more precisely.

2. Use Webflow Sections to Frame the Widget

Wrap your Embed element inside a styled Webflow section or container.
This lets you control background color, spacing, and layout without touching the widget itself.

3. Add Animations with Webflow Interactions

Want your widget to fade in, slide up, or scale on scroll?

Just apply Webflow interactions to the div block around the embed — the widget will animate like any native element.
