The footer is the strip at the very bottom of every page on your website. As the last element visitors see before leaving, it serves as a critical anchor—often the first place they look for quick access to navigation links, contact details, and legal pages.

From the Footers screen, you can build and manage multiple footers using the exact same visual editor you use for standard pages, giving you complete control over sections, columns, and blocks.

Manage Your Website Footers

Design your footers with the same flexible visual editor you use for pages. Manage all your saved footers in one centralized dashboard, then attach them to your layout templates to instantly update across your entire website.

Permanent Deletion

Deleting a footer is a permanent action. You will be asked to confirm your choice before the deletion is finalized.

Creating and Editing Footers

The Footer Editor

The footer editor uses the same block-based visual builder as pages and templates, but is scoped specifically for building your site's bottom navigation.

Connecting Footers to Pages

Assign Footers in the Design Tab

Footers don't exist in isolation—they need to be attached to your pages. Open the page editor, navigate to the Design tab, and select your saved layout from the Footer dropdown. Click save to instantly apply it to the bottom of your page.

Inheritance Logic

Template footers always take precedence. If a page uses a template, that template's footer is displayed. Without a template, the page falls back to its directly assigned footer. If neither is configured, the page renders with no footer at all.

Best Practices for Effective Footers

Troubleshooting Common Footer Issues

Building a footer is usually a straightforward process, but responsive layouts and template settings can occasionally cause unexpected display issues. If your footer isn't looking quite right, here are solutions to the most common problems.

Troubleshooting Footers

If your page uses a template, the template's footer settings will override any direct page settings. Check the Design tab to see if a template is currently active and controlling the layout.

Horizontal layouts automatically collapse into stacked columns on smaller screens. Use the device preview buttons to check your mobile view, then adjust the column order or padding to ensure your content remains readable and accessible.

For focused landing pages where you want to minimize distractions, navigate to the Design tab and select "None" from the Footer dropdown. Make sure no active template is forcing a footer onto the page.

Template Precedence

Template settings always take precedence. If a footer you assigned directly to a page isn't displaying, check if a template is currently applied to that page in the Layout Templates section.
