Websites and social media often go hand in hand. Social networks are used to drive traffic to websites but the opposite is true as well, especially if you want to increase engagement on your social networks. Thatβs why most websites include links to their social networks on various pages. You can go with the classic way and add icons, or you can try a more unique approach.
Weβve created a stunning and creative social follow design that you can download and can use on any website you build using Divi. On top of that, weβve also provided you with 5 different color palettes that look great for this design.

I don’t see a button to download the folder with the color palette images. where can I find it? I checked my emails and everything but I can’t find a way to get the folder that needs to be downloaded.
Love this!! I seem to be having a problem with the background pattern though, when I click to upload it is just the same as the gradient and the thumbnail image is blank. Have I missed something?
