excellent blog footer design

Written by: Sakib

Fundamentally any weblog would be made up of header, sidebar, content section and footer. In the eye of a visitor, the footer is perhaps one of the most unnoticeable section but to a designer who knows how important user experience, navigation and designs, they are treated the same. That said, footer will not be anything less important compared to the header (or masthead)

Footer contents varies from developer/author’s short bio, recent articles, Flickr photos, quick links and so on, but it’s interesting to find out how designers prioritize their footer. Not only it will inspires us, it somehow help us understand what we really need in our footer section.

    In early days of blogging, there was no trend of fancy blog footers. But in last 2-3 years multi-column blog footers have really become very famous.

    This is an awesome list of stylish blog footers.

    Stumbled and dugged…

    @Rajeev,

    thanks for the comments. I agree with you. Not only two or three column, but also four column based blog footers available which enabling lots of things and so stylish.

    Good list, it’s always nice to see other ideas. I’ve implemented a nice footer from the beginning, because I always thought the possibilities were endless.
    But seeing some of these you can really tell how useful you can actually make a footer if you come up with the right ideas, design and implementation. Thanks.

    Once my blog is well established and getting more traffic, i am looking forward to hire web designer to create killing header and footer..what do you think guys?

    Reply
  42. hongkiat December 3rd, 2008

    @Cupid Blogger You could, but I’ve got few more suggestions.

    1 - You can take advantage of some good free web templates. See this.

    2 - Get some free premium wordpress themes, that already have nice headers and footers. See this.

    3 - Or if you are keen with Photoshop design. Try create them yourself :-) See this, this and this.

    Hope this helps.
