Footer section templates

The footer is where people go when they did not find what they wanted higher up. It is navigation, legal baseline and last impression at once, and it is the one section that appears on every page of a site.

How to choose a footer section

Size it to the site. A multi-column link map suits a site with real depth and doubles as a sitemap. A minimal centered footer suits a single-page site or a small product, where a large link map would just be empty scaffolding. A brand-led footer with oversized type makes a closing statement, which works for studios and portfolios and less well for utilities.

Footer section FAQ

What should a website footer include?

At minimum: a copyright line, links to privacy and terms, and a way to make contact. Beyond that, the most useful links from the rest of the site — which for many visitors is the fastest navigation on the page.

Should the footer repeat the main navigation?

It should overlap with it, not mirror it. The footer is a good place for links that do not deserve a spot in the header — careers, status, changelog, support — alongside the handful of main pages.

How many columns should a footer have?

Three or four groups is typical, ideally organised by what the visitor wants rather than by your internal structure. If you cannot fill three columns without padding them out, a minimal footer is the honest choice.
