50 Excellent Blog Footer Designs

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.

Here’s a compilation of 50 Excellent Blog Footer Designs collected everywhere from the blogosphere. If your footer is nice, let us know, we’d like to have it in our sequel entry. In the mean time, full list after jump.

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…

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?

@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.

These are definitely all very nicely designed.

I do have to say most of them have so much content in them it’s difficult to call them footers, other than the fact they’re at the bottom of the page. Seem more like another row of content.
