Create Footer Section At Bottom Of Page Using HTML And CSS
Hey guys, Welcome to Our Blog, In Today’s Blog We Are Going to See How to Create a Footer Section Using HTML and CSS. Before That, We Could See What This Footer Section is About.
The Footer section consists of various links of the organization and their services in which we can use that for seeing a company’s total overview and get to know about what is that company is for, also we can subscribe to them for email updates as well as follow their social media pages from the links given below. Looks Interesting Project Right…?
So, Now Let’s Begin Creating Our Footer Project by adding the Source Codes. and For That, here we are using HTML code first.
HTML CODE For Footer Section
<footer class="site-footer"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-12 col-md-6"> <h6>About</h6> <p class="text-justify">Scanfcode.com <i>CODE WANTS TO BE SIMPLE </i> is an initiative to help the upcoming programmers with the code. Scanfcode focuses on providing the most efficient code or snippets as the code wants to be simple. We will help programmers build up concepts in different programming languages that include C, C++, Java, HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, JavaScript, PHP, Android, SQL and Algorithm.</p> </div> <div class="col-xs-6 col-md-3"> <h6>Categories</h6> <ul class="footer-links"> <li><a href="http://scanfcode.com/category/c-language/">C</a></li> <li><a href="http://scanfcode.com/category/front-end-development/">UI Design</a></li> <li><a href="http://scanfcode.com/category/back-end-development/">PHP</a></li> <li><a href="http://scanfcode.com/category/java-programming-language/">Java</a></li> <li><a href="http://scanfcode.com/category/android/">Android</a></li> <li><a href="http://scanfcode.com/category/templates/">Templates</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="col-xs-6 col-md-3"> <h6>Quick Links</h6> <ul class="footer-links"> <li><a href="http://scanfcode.com/about/">About Us</a></li> <li><a href="http://scanfcode.com/contact/">Contact Us</a></li> <li><a href="http://scanfcode.com/contribute-at-scanfcode/">Contribute</a></li> <li><a href="http://scanfcode.com/privacy-policy/">Privacy Policy</a></li> <li><a href="http://scanfcode.com/sitemap/">Sitemap</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> <hr> </div> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-8 col-sm-6 col-xs-12"> <p class="copyright-text">Copyright © 2017 All Rights Reserved by <a href="#">Scanfcode</a>. </p> </div> <div class="col-md-4 col-sm-6 col-xs-12"> <ul class="social-icons"> <li><a class="facebook" href="#"><i class="fa fa-facebook"></i></a></li> <li><a class="twitter" href="#"><i class="fa fa-twitter"></i></a></li> <li><a class="dribbble" href="#"><i class="fa fa-dribbble"></i></a></li> <li><a class="linkedin" href="#"><i class="fa fa-linkedin"></i></a></li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </footer>
Now the HTML code is added Successfully. So, let’s see it in steps so it will be easy for you to understand.
STEP 1: First we are adding a footer section with a separate class name and inside of it we are adding another section which is div with a class name then the div class repeats creation two times and now we are adding the organization details of what this organization is? with the heading about. So, for this explanation, the code is down.
<footer class="site-footer"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-12 col-md-6"> <h6>About</h6> <p class="text-justify">Scanfcode.com <i>CODE WANTS TO BE SIMPLE </i> is an initiative to help the upcoming programmers with the code. Scanfcode focuses on providing the most efficient code or snippets as the code wants to be simple. We will help programmers build up concepts in different programming languages that include C, C++, Java, HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, JavaScript, PHP, Android, SQL and Algorithm.</p> </div>
STEP 2: Now, we started adding the services that organization contains so for that we again creating a Div tag with class and inside of it we are giving the title as “categories” using heading (H6) tag and that contains the services they provide, and it is done by creating an UL class and inside we are adding the coding languages(services) they provide using list tags.

This particular explanation is given in a code down below.
<div class="col-xs-6 col-md-3"> <h6>Categories</h6> <ul class="footer-links"> <li><a href="http://scanfcode.com/category/c-language/">C</a></li> <li><a href="http://scanfcode.com/category/front-end-development/">UI Design</a></li> <li><a href="http://scanfcode.com/category/back-end-development/">PHP</a></li> <li><a href="http://scanfcode.com/category/java-programming-language/">Java</a></li> <li><a href="http://scanfcode.com/category/android/">Android</a></li> <li><a href="http://scanfcode.com/category/templates/">Templates</a></li> </ul> </div>
STEP 3: In this step, we are adding the quick links option with 4 to 5 quick links of the organization along with their privacy policy and that is done by creating a separate div tag and placing the links inside unordered list that contains the list tags with quick link option and then closing the UL and div tag.
<div class="col-xs-6 col-md-3"> <h6>Quick Links</h6> <ul class="footer-links"> <li><a href="http://scanfcode.com/about/">About Us</a></li> <li><a href="http://scanfcode.com/contact/">Contact Us</a></li> <li><a href="http://scanfcode.com/contribute-at-scanfcode/">Contribute</a></li> <li><a href="http://scanfcode.com/privacy-policy/">Privacy Policy</a></li> <li><a href="http://scanfcode.com/sitemap/">Sitemap</a></li> </ul> </div> </div>
STEP 4: In this last step, we now adding the copy wright option with multiple social media links of the organization that is separated by HR tag which means a single line for break from previous contents. and that is done by first creating a div tag and inside div the copywrite is added by p class and the icons were added with the help of anchor tags that is placed inside of list tags.
<hr> </div> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-8 col-sm-6 col-xs-12"> <p class="copyright-text">Copyright © 2017 All Rights Reserved by <a href="#">Scanfcode</a>. </p> </div> <div class="col-md-4 col-sm-6 col-xs-12"> <ul class="social-icons"> <li><a class="facebook" href="#"><i class="fa fa-facebook"></i></a></li> <li><a class="twitter" href="#"><i class="fa fa-twitter"></i></a></li> <li><a class="dribbble" href="#"><i class="fa fa-dribbble"></i></a></li> <li><a class="linkedin" href="#"><i class="fa fa-linkedin"></i></a></li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </footer>
Now we have done with our HTML code. so, we begin adding the CSS code to make our Footer section more attractive and user responsive.
CSS CODE – Footer Section
.site-footer { background-color:#26272b; padding:45px 0 20px; font-size:15px; line-height:24px; color:#737373; } .site-footer hr { border-top-color:#bbb; opacity:0.5 } .site-footer hr.small { margin:20px 0 } .site-footer h6 { color:#fff; font-size:16px; text-transform:uppercase; margin-top:5px; letter-spacing:2px } .site-footer a { color:#737373; } .site-footer a:hover { color:#3366cc; text-decoration:none; } .footer-links { padding-left:0; list-style:none } .footer-links li { display:block } .footer-links a { color:#737373 } .footer-links a:active,.footer-links a:focus,.footer-links a:hover { color:#3366cc; text-decoration:none; } .footer-links.inline li { display:inline-block } .site-footer .social-icons { text-align:right } .site-footer .social-icons a { width:40px; height:40px; line-height:40px; margin-left:6px; margin-right:0; border-radius:100%; background-color:#33353d } .copyright-text { margin:0 } @media (max-width:991px) { .site-footer [class^=col-] { margin-bottom:30px } } @media (max-width:767px) { .site-footer { padding-bottom:0 } .site-footer .copyright-text,.site-footer .social-icons { text-align:center } } .social-icons { padding-left:0; margin-bottom:0; list-style:none } .social-icons li { display:inline-block; margin-bottom:4px } .social-icons li.title { margin-right:15px; text-transform:uppercase; color:#96a2b2; font-weight:700; font-size:13px } .social-icons a{ background-color:#eceeef; color:#818a91; font-size:16px; display:inline-block; line-height:44px; width:44px; height:44px; text-align:center; margin-right:8px; border-radius:100%; -webkit-transition:all .2s linear; -o-transition:all .2s linear; transition:all .2s linear } .social-icons a:active,.social-icons a:focus,.social-icons a:hover { color:#fff; background-color:#29aafe } .social-icons.size-sm a { line-height:34px; height:34px; width:34px; font-size:14px } .social-icons a.facebook:hover { background-color:#3b5998 } .social-icons a.twitter:hover { background-color:#00aced } .social-icons a.linkedin:hover { background-color:#007bb6 } .social-icons a.dribbble:hover { background-color:#ea4c89 } @media (max-width:767px) { .social-icons li.title { display:block; margin-right:0; font-weight:600 } }
Now we have added our CSS code successfully. In this code, the first step we did is styling us the whole footer section using the background’s, text colors, padding, font size etc… then we are adding some styles for the HR tag by giving border color and opacity.
In second step, we style out the head (About) in the h6 tag and by giving color, size, margin and letter spacing and fixing the links with color and adding hover effects to them using hover property.
The code for above explanation
.site-footer { background-color:#26272b; padding:45px 0 20px; font-size:15px; line-height:24px; color:#737373; } .site-footer hr { border-top-color:#bbb; opacity:0.5 } .site-footer hr.small { margin:20px 0 } .site-footer h6 { color:#fff; font-size:16px; text-transform:uppercase; margin-top:5px; letter-spacing:2px } .site-footer a { color:#737373; } .site-footer a:hover { color:#3366cc; text-decoration:none; }
In third step, we are adding the list style, alignment properties and colors for the links of footer then adding the special variant of hover effects to footer links like border glow on touching, animate on text like that and finally we styled out the social media icons which comes (in. site-footer. social-icons a) section and particular display properties, text decoration and colors were fixed for the social media icons. the code for above explanation.
.site-footer h6 { color:#fff; font-size:16px; text-transform:uppercase; margin-top:5px; letter-spacing:2px } .site-footer a { color:#737373; } .site-footer a:hover { color:#3366cc; text-decoration:none; } .footer-links { padding-left:0; list-style:none } .footer-links li { display:block } .footer-links a { color:#737373 } .footer-links a:active,.footer-links a:focus,.footer-links a:hover { color:#3366cc; text-decoration:none; } .footer-links.inline li { display:inline-block } .site-footer .social-icons { text-align:right } .site-footer .social-icons a { width:40px; height:40px; line-height:40px; margin-left:6px; margin-right:0; border-radius:100%; background-color:#33353d } .copyright-text { margin:0 }
In final step, we are adding the CSS media queries to our footer project in order to make it responsive. so, we just fixed each screen sizes with the media max-width property and for every screen size some particular CSS styling out were done for example change in background size, change in alignments and change in social media icons when comes under lower screen etc… and some more hover properties were added for particular elements. the code has been given for the explanation.
@media (max-width:991px) { .site-footer [class^=col-] { margin-bottom:30px } } @media (max-width:767px) { .site-footer { padding-bottom:0 } .site-footer .copyright-text,.site-footer .social-icons { text-align:center } } .social-icons { padding-left:0; margin-bottom:0; list-style:none } .social-icons li { display:inline-block; margin-bottom:4px } .social-icons li.title { margin-right:15px; text-transform:uppercase; color:#96a2b2; font-weight:700; font-size:13px } .social-icons a{ background-color:#eceeef; color:#818a91; font-size:16px; display:inline-block; line-height:44px; width:44px; height:44px; text-align:center; margin-right:8px; border-radius:100%; -webkit-transition:all .2s linear; -o-transition:all .2s linear; transition:all .2s linear } .social-icons a:active,.social-icons a:focus,.social-icons a:hover { color:#fff; background-color:#29aafe } .social-icons.size-sm a { line-height:34px; height:34px; width:34px; font-size:14px } .social-icons a.facebook:hover { background-color:#3b5998 } .social-icons a.twitter:hover { background-color:#00aced } .social-icons a.linkedin:hover { background-color:#007bb6 } .social-icons a.dribbble:hover { background-color:#ea4c89 } @media (max-width:767px) { .social-icons li.title { display:block; margin-right:0; font-weight:600 } }
