Footer design is about choosing what to include, with the intention of helping visitors and meeting business goals. How should you design your website footer?
- [ ] Copyright
If your footer had just one element, it definitely will be a Copyright. It should include the year and the copyright symbol. A bit of code will keep the year updated automatically.
<p>Copyright © <script>document.write(new Date().getFullYear())</script> Your Name All Rights Reserved</p>
- [ ] Privacy Policy
The second most common element in the website footer. It links to a subpage that informs users about what personal data is collected about them and how it will be used.
- [ ] Terms of use
The “terms of use” are a bit different from privacy. They explain what the visitor agrees to by visiting the website.
- [ ] Contact
Visitors expect to find contact information in the top right of the navigation. It’s a web design standard. It’s also standard to find a “contact” link in the footer.
- [ ] Address and phone number
