A Showcase of Fantastic Footer Designs
Website footers have become more than just a place to put the copyright information and a few links. Now web designers are making full use of the footer as way to keep the visitor on the site longer. You will see from the examples below that this can be achieved by using clever placement of graphics and design elements along side links to additional content.

August 21, 2009Hi Henry, nice post, it’s interesting to see what people are doing with what were previously throw away page elements.
I think this is the first footer round up I’ve seen that doesn’t mention elliotjaystocks.com and his oversized search boxed.

September 18, 2009It’s good to see that designers are becoming more creative with website footers. I think these sites will be very inspirational for those who are running short of ideas for creating interactive footers. Nice work.
