What is a footer?
A footer is a section of content that is displayed at the bottom of every page of your website. It displays content like your social media links, email address, phone number, physical location and navigation links.
In addition to the standard footer content, you can add rows to your footer that can contain images, widgets, videos and custom content, in the same way you would for a page.
The footer is automatically created for you when you set up your website as is the footer attribution.
