Week 8: Review Your Website Footer

Digital Success Weekly gives you one simple step to move your online presence forward, in 30 minutes or less.

This week is about your website footer. It's easy to overlook. But the visitors who scroll all the way to the bottom are often the most interested ones. What they find there matters.

What This Focus Is Really About

Think of your footer as your website's last impression.

It's at the bottom of every page on your site. And it's where visitors look when they can't find what they need in your main menu. A clear, organized footer makes it easy for them to take the next step.

Why This Matters

1. Visitors look to the footer for key information

When people can't find what they need in your navigation, they scroll to the bottom. They expect to find contact info, key links, and basic business information there.

2. A good footer builds trust

A clear, organized footer tells visitors your business is real and easy to reach. A bare or outdated footer can work against you.

3. It's a second chance at navigation

Your footer gives visitors another way to find the important pages on your site. It's especially helpful for people who have scrolled all the way down and want to take a next step.

4. It's easy to forget

Most people focus on the top of their website and don't think much about the footer. A quick review can reveal outdated information, broken links, or missing details.

What a Good Footer Includes:

• Your business name

• A short tagline or one-line description

• Key navigation links

• Contact information or a link to your contact page

• A copyright line with the current year

• Links to your social media profiles (optional but helpful)

A Few Tips to Keep in Mind

• Keep it simple and uncluttered

• Make sure your contact information is up to date

• Check that all footer links actually work

• Update the copyright year if it's out of date

Your Action Step

Scroll to the bottom of your website. Ask yourself:

• "Is my contact information easy to find?"

• "Are all the links working?"

• "Does this footer reflect my business accurately?"

If not, take 30 minutes this week to clean it up.

A simple footer done well is better than a fancy one that's outdated or confusing.
