The default footer
Many apps and websites now use infinite scroll technology to constantly serve new content, so we don’t often consider just how important a traditional website footer can be. Website footers appear on every page of your website and usually contain some of the most important information for your users.
Your SupaPass website footer includes many of these important links by default, such as the link for Tech Support (we provide tech support for your users) and the General Terms and Privacy (how user data is handled). As you add to your website we will automatically add new links to your footer, such as links to your mobile apps. The first group of links contains these default links and will include the following depending on what you have set up:
Tech support
FAQ
Terms & Privacy
General Terms and Privacy
iOS app link
Android app link
Customizing your footer
Now that you're familiar with the default footer links you can begin to think about what else you might like to include in your footer such as custom links, additional text and social icons to your footer.
Footer Link Groups
Footer Link Groups are used to group together related links in your footer. The default links will always appear in the first group that you create, you can choose to add more links to this group or create a new group for your other links.
Creating a new group
To create a new group, follow these steps.
In the builder, click the link icon to edit the menu settings, then click the footer sub-tab.
Click 'Create Footer Link Group' .
Enter a title for the group and click Create Footer Link Group (you can rename this later).
Click the Add Link button to create a new footer link.
Give the link a name and then choose the Link Type. Links can go to either an external page with a URL, or an internal page with one of the other pages you've built in the Builder, lists, products and content pages.
Footer Text
The Footer Text allows you to add important notices to your footer that you want to be displayed on every page. You could put anything in the footer text, but here are some examples of what you could include:
Copyright notice
Company address
Professional or charity registration details
A brief company mission statement
Anything you want! 🙂
Social Media Links
You can also include icons in your footer that connect to social media pages. We support dozens of the main social platforms to automatically include their icon in your footer.
