They're all really high quality; they're completely free for you to use, by the way. If you've got your own images, maybe you want to also make one or two amendments to their content; you can do that.

You can change the text on those buttons as well; otherwise, choose your link for the button to link to.

Excellent, and the last section is where your customers can easily reach out to you with their queries; the lead form. All they need to do is put in their details, click on send, and you will get notified by email; you have a new lead from this form.
