Having icons that not only look good but also fit seamlessly into your web design can significantly enhance the user experience. Let's tackle this issue step by step and make your icons pop!

Understanding FontAwesome

Make sure you link to the appropriate version of FontAwesome that corresponds with your needs. The example above uses version 5.14.0.

By correctly targeting the icon classes and applying relevant styles, your icons will not only enhance your web pages but also improve the overall user experience.

So there you have it! Experiment with different styles and make your FontAwesome icons the star of your web design. Happy coding!
