Components: Footer

Guides footer design for SEO, UX, and conversion. Footers provide secondary navigation, support crawlability, and engage users below the fold (66% of engagement happens there).

When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1-2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.

Initial Assessment

Check for project context first: If .claude/project-context.md or .cursor/project-context.md exists, read it for key pages and audience.

Identify:

  • Site type: Marketing, e-commerce, SaaS, blog
  • Footer goals: Navigation, lead capture, trust, legal
  • Platform: Web, mobile, both
