What is the Footer?

The footer is located at the bottom of a web page, and repeats some elements of the header/body copy, in addition to the fine print and copyright notices.

Examples

Website Technical and Legal Information: The footer is a visible and out-of-the-way space to share the legal information that many websites are required to display.

Website Navigation: when a user arrives at the footer of a website, it signals the end of that page. Some also add a call to action, like forms that try to convert website visitors to newsletter subscribers. A great website footer design keeps people engaged and moving through your website.

Security & Credibility: The website footer is a place to showcase awards, security certificates, and badges to demonstrate to visitors that your website is trustworthy.
