Footer Design Showcase: 75+ Creative Footer Designs

In writing about redesigning the TechCrunch footer I came across many great examples of creative and useful footer design.

So I thought it was about time I created my own showcase of web site footer designs.

Footer design showcase examples (click to view all)

Some are simple and elegant; many are information-rich. But all combine typography, color, layout and imagery to reinforce the brand of the site, engage visitors and drive traffic to other pages. Enjoy!

Hi there. Good stuff! After your last post, and Smashing's footer post I got to thinking about footers and how I always do really boring ones. Then I started http://www.beatingrsi.com and put a lit bit more effort into the footer. It's nothing astoundingly different but a lot better, as I rarely give them much consideration at all.

Cheers!

This gives me room for thought. I have a couple of current projects that now I may re-think with regards to the footer. Thanks for the gallery.

Great post,

I get so much inspiration by looking at all those footers and it made me rethink my footer as well.

These footers add an element to a website that can turn ordinary into memorable and provide wow-factor to a web design. Thanks for sharing this find.

I like web site footers that are creative in their presentation. Why not incorporate the same design thought processes that we use for the rest of the site when thinking about the footer? They're a very important part of a web site so should be given more thought than currently most people (it would seem) do.

Footers are like shoes to me. Personally, I like fancy shoes, that stand out. I apply this technique to web and print design. See my footer here: http://www.rowdygroup.com/
