Footer

The footer pattern presents the information that should be found at the bottom of all pages.

Rules for the footer

There are two components of the footer: the copyright-footer and navigation menu footer.

• The copyright-footer must appear at the bottom of all pages without any modification. It contains copyright information, legal information and social media links.
• The navigation-menu-footer contains links and contact information relevant to the website.

Copyright footer

Navigation menu footer

• The navigation menu footer should be used if needed and should contain content relevant to the section of the website where the page is located.
• The navigation menu footer must never be included without the copyright footer below it.
• The third column in the navigation menu footer must be reserved for the contact information.
• Custom icons for social media links must not be added. Unique social media links must use text and can only be added to the navigation menu footer (see example below).
