Fantastic Footers: 25 Examples And Best Practices
Tweet You’ve got a great design for your header and the content is well placed and flows nicely – but why stop there? When the viewer scrolls to the bottom of the page, are they greeted with only a credit link and a copyright notice? Your website’s footer is a great place to direct the attention of visitors to other areas of your site.
By checking out these 25 examples and seeing what works well for websites, you’ll be able to implement your own footer that keeps people’s attention when they’re at the bottom of your page. Of course, every design is different and a big footer might not work for your site or just be overkill, but on the other hand it might just be what your site needed.
Make sure you take notice on how many different styles there actually are in the footers – link-hub style, strictly design, contact forms, etc…

Our brandeluxe.com footer is also pretty unique – huge block of large text (using text-replacement technique). Might be worth checking out.

Nice collection of footers! :)
What do you think of the footer in my blog? (http://blog.simonedamico.com)
May 17th, 2010
Some of the footers are really amazing and innovative…. @Simone: your footer is pretty cool too though in my opinion the floor has gone down a tad bit more than it should. May be you can lift it up so that its a bit closer to the footer content. :)
What do you guys think about my site’s footer? :)

…but I wish they’d done a better job of carrying other background graphics beyond the home page.
May 17th, 2010
Thanks for the food for thought! I’ll definitely look more closely at my footer from now on.

They haven’t done anything clever with the typography, but the fixed footer at the Feed-in Tariffs site is clever.

Thanks for featuring my website design here, I’m proud of it and always looking to refine it, but it’s nice to be acknowledged for how far I’ve gotten with it to date, not to mention to be featured alongside such great and inspiring fellow designs.

Pow Pow! Just what I needed for my new project!
June 8th, 2010
I love this post, a lot of these are great, but I’m starting to see a lot of footers that take up almost a full screen, I’m not too into those really long footers, to me they make a page look too crowded.
June 20th, 2010
Nice collections thanks
July 26th, 2010
I particularly like Grzegorz Kozak’s website as it’s very artistic and the footer complements the rest of the web design layout very well.
Large footers have become increasingly used on the web this year, and a common trend in good websites. I’ve found that they make the website more appealing to look at, especially illustrated websites.
