Most websites have it, and it usually contains some important information, such as links to <strong>About Us pages, copyright notices, privacy policy, FAQ, links to support, community and social links<\/strong>, and so on.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]As web users, we are accustomed to finding this sort of information in the footer.

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]If a website is using a WordPress theme, the <a href=\"https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/wordpress-copyright-footer-code\/\">footer area<\/a> will most likely be defined in the <strong><em>footer.php<\/em> file<\/strong>. Depending on the theme, the footer area may also be <strong>widgetized<\/strong> \u2013 this means it includes multiple columns where you can <a href=\"https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/useful-wordpress-widgets\/\">add widgets of your choice<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]In the past couple of years, the footer has become a sort of playground for designers to experiment with.

However, these days we can see some of truly <a href=\"https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/examples-of-innovative-footer-design\/\">innovative examples of footer design<\/a>, ranging from minimalist to oversized, interactive and dynamic, often carrying powerful visual content (illustrations, creative typography, animations, etc.)[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]In addition to widgets, sometimes we might need to <a href=\"https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/add-header-and-footer-code-in-wordpress\/\">add code to your WordPress footer<\/a>.

They are usually placed on more than one place on a website, including the footer. Again, the button itself will depend on your website: it can be a Buy Now button, an email or newsletter subscription button, a donation button and so on.

These are great tools for building a follower base and extending your reach. The footer is definitely a better place for them than the header (where many people place them) because if your visitors navigate to your social pages right away, they may not come back to your site.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;50px&#8221;]<div class=\"qodef-single-image-holder   qodef-has-border qodef-image-behavior-custom-link\">\n    <div class=\"qodef-si-inner\" >\n        \t            <a itemprop=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/dalia.elated-themes.com\/landing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n                                    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"710\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Footer-6-contact.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Social Icons in footer\" srcset=\"https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Footer-6-contact.jpg 710w, https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Footer-6-contact-300x106.jpg 300w, https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Footer-6-contact-620x218.jpg 620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 710px) 100vw, 710px\" \/>                                <\/a>\n            <\/div>\n<\/div>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;38px&#8221;][vc_column_text]You may also want to consider using social media widgets for this purpose.

Often, people fail to pay proper attention to it, but now that you know how to add and edit your footer, you can make sure it gets proper credit. [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Keep in mind a few things, though: <strong>make sure that you don\u2019t put too much content in your footer<\/strong>. Clutter is never a good thing and you want to keep things as clean and clear as possible. Also, consider adding titles to the columns in your footer, for improved user experience and easier navigation.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In web design, the footer usually designates the bottom part of a web page.
