A gallery dedicated to footers
Footers get built last and break first: a pile of links, a copyright line, shipped. Footer Design collects the good ones so you don't have to scroll to the bottom of a dozen sites hunting for a reference.
It bills itself as the only footer gallery on earth, and the collection runs 65 pages of listings. Each entry shows a preview and links to the live site, so you can inspect the actual type scale, spacing and interaction.
How it's categorized
Tags lean on the language clients actually use when describing what they want:
- Typographic, Large Type, Bold — type-driven footers
- Small Type — dense, text-heavy footers
- Illustrative — footers that carry artwork
- Grid — structured grid layouts
- Flat — no decoration, straight layout
- Animated — motion on scroll or hover
- Cards — modular card blocks
- Bright, Dark — the two lighting directions
- Info, Newsletter — informational vs. signup-focused
There's also an Editor's Choice section, which is the fastest place to start.
When it's useful
Two cases: locking a design direction for a new site and deciding how much a footer should carry, plus whether it needs a signup; or restyling an existing site and borrowing a layout structure from a similar style. It's also a handy artifact for aligning designers and front-end on how far down the page the polish should extend.
