How to Design a Footer for a Landing Page
Creating the Footer Section
To begin, navigate to the area where you can add a new section to your landing page layout. Choose the "Full Width" option and set it to have four rows for better organization and more content space.
Pick a background color that fits well with the overall aesthetic of your website.
Adding Contact Details
In the first row, include a text block for your contact information, such as the physical address.
For example, you can insert a placeholder address to see how it will appear.
Copy the text block and adjust the spacing to add a phone number underneath the address.
If needed, repeat this process to include an email address.
Optimizing the Layout
To ensure the content is visually appealing, adjust the padding around your contact details. A good starting point would be 60px for the top and bottom, and 40px for the sides.
Including Navigation Links
In the second row, insert a subheading like "Important Links" or something similar.
Beneath this, create a bulleted list with navigation links to pages such as Home, About Us, Services, Testimonials, and Contact.
Ensure the alignment and design of the list match the style of your site.
Adding Extra Information
Replicate the section with the navigation links to add another list. This could include pages like Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policy, etc.
Tailor this list to the requirements of your website.
Adding Social Media Icons
In the final row, include a heading such as "Follow Us" to introduce the social media icons section.
Insert the social media icons below this heading (the actual steps for inserting icons will be explained in another guide).
Make sure the icons align correctly at the top of the column for a clean look.
Troubleshooting and Tips
If the footer elements don't align properly, double-check the padding and alignment settings for each section or block.
It’s important to ensure the color scheme of your footer blends well with the rest of your landing page for consistency.
Keep your footer updated regularly with the latest information about your business or website.
