# Build your website footer

*Website Builder*

Your footer is the quiet workhorse at the bottom of every page — it carries your logo, the links people reach for when they've scrolled to the end, your social profiles, and your legal notices. Like the navigation bar, it's shared across your whole site, so you set it once and it appears everywhere you place it. This is an owner-and-admin task: community managers and agents cannot edit the website.

## Open the footer editor

1. Open the full-screen website editor for your community (see [Open the website editor](/open-the-website-editor)).
2. In the left icon rail, click **Nav & footer**.
3. At the top of the panel, switch to the **Footer** sub-tab.

The footer and navigation share this panel but save independently, so nothing you do to the footer touches your nav. For the top-of-page menu, see [Set up site navigation](/set-up-site-navigation).

## Set the logo and brand

The **Logo & brand** section controls how your identity appears at the top of the footer.

1. Upload or choose your **footer logo**. This is independent of the navbar logo — you can use a different mark here if you like.
2. Adjust the logo **size** to fit the footer band.
3. Choose the logo **colour**: **Auto**, **Light**, or **Dark**. The footer defaults to a dark band, so the light logo usually reads best. If you switch to a light footer scheme, pick the logo colour that contrasts with it.
4. Optionally add **brand text** next to or under the logo, plus a short **blurb** — a sentence describing your community.

## Add link columns

Footers organize links into stacked columns. Any links that share the same **Group** heading stack together into one column.

1. In the **Link columns** section, optionally turn on the option to **repeat your menu pages** as a column — this mirrors your main navigation at the bottom of the page.
2. Add **custom columns** for anything else: resources, contact info, or grouped page links.
3. Give the links in each column the same **Group** heading, and they'll stack under that heading as one column.

## Add social links

The **Social links** section offers a fixed set of networks. Fill in only the ones you use.

1. For each network you want to show — **Facebook**, **Instagram**, **LinkedIn**, **YouTube**, or **TikTok** — paste the full profile **URL**.
2. Leave the rest blank. Only networks with a URL appear as icons.

## Add a call-to-action button

The footer supports one CTA.

1. In the **Button** section, set the button label and where it links.
2. Use it for your single most important action — booking a call, joining, or contacting you.

For more on writing effective buttons, see [Calls to action](/calls-to-action).

## Set legal and copyright

The **Legal & copyright** section holds the fine print.

1. Enter your **copyright line** (for example, your community name and the year).
2. Add any **legal links** — for instance, a link to your privacy policy at **/legal/privacy** or your terms.

## Save and show the footer

1. Click **Save nav & footer**. Footer changes go **live instantly** — there's no separate publish step for the footer.
2. Make sure each page that should show the footer has a **Site footer** block on it. The footer only appears on pages that include this block; a page without it will have no footer at all.

## Troubleshooting

### My footer isn't showing on a page
The footer only renders where a **Site footer** block is placed. Open that page in the editor and confirm it has a **Site footer** block. Add one to any page that's missing its footer.

### My footer logo is hard to read
The footer defaults to a dark band. Set the logo **colour** to **Light** (or **Auto**) so it contrasts with the dark background. If you've switched the footer to a light scheme, use the **Dark** logo instead.

### A social icon didn't appear
Only networks with a URL filled in show up. Double-check you pasted the full profile **URL** into that network's field and saved.

### My links didn't group into one column
Links stack into a shared column only when they have the same **Group** heading. Give every link you want together the exact same group name, then click **Save nav & footer**.
