Edit the Footer

Precondition

We assume you have already gathered some experience with your website and know the basics terms, how to edit or add a post etc.

Anatomy of the Footer

The upper part (grey) of the footer consists of multiple widgets, while the lower part (green) contains simply a menu.

Footer Widgets

We generally advise you to use the three widgets Link List, Button and Contact as your footer elements, but you are free to experiment as well with the others.

Add or Edit Widgets

Go to Design > Widgets. While you have the footer widget zone on the right hand side, you'll find the available widgets on the left. If you want to add a new widget to the footer, choose on the left and drag it over into the Footer zone. Expand the widget in the footer widget zone to edit it.

Footer Navigation

The footer navigation in the green bar is just another navigation. You can edit it like the main navigation (under Design > Menu). Keep it very lean (one to three entries only) and don't nest it.

Legal limitations

The swiss laws oblige you, to have your address available from every page (if you sell things or raise funds). Therefore we advise you to use the Contact widget. Alternatively you may also add an imprint page and link it in the footer navigation.
