+# Configure Font Awesome Library for Webmaker+
+
+Webmaker+ is designed to provide flexibility and customization options for your website. To personalize and maintain full control over the Font Awesome icons used on your site, you can configure the theme to load the Font Awesome library from your own account.
+
+This guide explains how to set up your own Font Awesome kit and integrate it into the Webmaker+ theme.
+
+---
+
+## Why Use Your Own Font Awesome Kit?
+
+Using your own Font Awesome kit provides several advantages:
+- **Full control** over the icons and features available.
+- **Personalized configuration** of your icon set to match your needs.
+- Avoid potential limitations or restrictions from shared kits.
+

+
+## Steps to Configure Font Awesome

+### 1. Create a Font Awesome Account and Kit
+1. Visit the [Font Awesome website](https://fontawesome.com).
+2. Create an account or log in if you already have one.
+3. Go to the **Kits** section in your Font Awesome dashboard and click **Create a Kit**.
+4. Configure your kit with the following settings:
