Icons are essential on a good website. They are not only a nice variation to a text and a great way to create more visuals in your design, but they also can be very useful. Your visitor will see your icons earlier than he will read some text. Icons can grab the attention like text won’t in the first seconds on a new website. Icons are also a kind of international language which everyone understands, so when your website is in a language your visitor doesn’t speak, he could still understand something because of the icons.
