Footer are the elements that we insert at the end of a web page. The footer is not just another part of the page, it is very important for the visitor to make correct use of our website.
To correctly design a footer we can take into account a series of characteristics in order to make it more visible. For example, increasing the size of the font in the footer will make it contrast with the rest of the text on the web. We can also play with the colors using bright tones but that are consistent with the rest of the employees on the page. It is only about highlighting the area so that the user does not pass by the footer. Its purpose is based on transmitting additional information to the user through actions such as forms, queries, questions, location icons, etc … They are very important elements and to which perhaps we have not been able to give enough prominence throughout the page.
In addition to what has already been mentioned in the footer, links to the privacy policy, cookies, legal notices, etc …
Footer layout
The most common, and what we will find in most cases, is that the footer is located at the end of the web page. But there are some exceptions in which it changes and shows it to us in a different way than we are used to. For example on the main page of a blog. Saving the user from scrolling for a long time to reach the content, a floating footer is created that contains the just and necessary information. Another case is the hidden footer, the information is hidden behind a button and only appears when we click or pass over it.
Unfortunately the footer is one of the parts that is less important within a page. And we can observe this, for example, when a website has expired copyright or shows broken links.
