Footer page - Tips for your website footer
Do you use the website footer at the bottom of your website? That's handy. Handy for your visitor who will find important links and information there, and also for findability at Google! In this support article we give some tips on how to conveniently organize your website footer.
Your website footer has all the possibilities that a normal page in your website also has. That offers many opportunities! Below we have described a number of tips what you could do for an effective footer.
Response form
A visitor to your website is increasingly rushed these days. And because people take less time, it is recommended that you remove all barriers to contacting you. How do you do that? For example, by integrating a form in your footer, so that your visitor can easily leave his data! You can see how to place such a form in this article:

Google maps map
It is very easy to place a Google maps map on your site to show where your company is located. If you have a company whose location is very important (such as a catering facility or a shop), it is useful that you show your location clearly and return it on every page. Well, a footer is very useful for that!

YouTube
Do you have a strong corporate video? Or is your website about a product of which you have a good video? Then it is very important to always have this video accessible at the bottom of your website. However a visitor arrives at your website, they can always play your most important video. And that gets the message across! Do you want to post a YouTube video? Read here how you can do that:

Address data
There are sometimes websites where it is almost impossible to find out where the company is?! Nothing is more difficult for a visitor to your website than not being able to find the address and contact details. The footer is a handy place to have this information clearly visible at the bottom of every page. Read more about placing your company information in your footer here:

social media
Your organization probably already uses social media such as Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn. It is very easy to place this in your footer, so that your website visitor quickly has the right links to it. How can you do that? Read here:

Links in your footer
You probably have some pages in your website that are really important. Which you know are the most sought after by your visitors. You have probably already incorporated these pages in the design or in a drop-down menu of your website. But when visitors to your site scroll through a page, they will lose those links at the bottom of your page. It is therefore useful to place the most important page of your website at the bottom of the footer as links. Then your visitor can click through quickly and navigate easily in your website.
