How to Embed Your Instagram Feed on Your Draftly Website
An active Instagram feed on your website shows that your business is real and active.
Recommended Tool: Elfsight
Elfsight's Instagram Feed widget has a free tier and works via script embed.
- Create a free account at elfsight.com
- Create an Instagram Feed widget
- Connect your Instagram account
- Customise: grid layout, number of posts, header style
- Copy the embed code
Adding to Draftly
- In the editor, add a Custom HTML block where you want the feed
- Paste the Elfsight script and save
- Preview to check placement
Alternative: Behold
Behold.so offers a cleaner no-login approach. Free tier available.
Placement Tips
- Below the fold on homepage — not the hero
- On an 'About' or 'Gallery' page
- In the footer as a strip of recent posts
Why It Works
Real Instagram content (especially photos of actual work, behind-the-scenes, client results) outperforms stock photography as social proof.
Caveat
Avoid embedding Instagram if your feed isn't consistent or updated. An inactive feed does more harm than no feed.
