11 Footer Designs for SharePoint Sites

Bring in an elegant and concise finish to your page with a simple, one-line footer like in the example below. Include a copyright and links to your most important documents.

Tip: Make sure all the information you include into your footer is what you want to see in all site pages. You don’t want to include anything specific for the given page, because the footer will be the same on all pages of the site. Therefore, it’s perfect to go with the basic things: contact information, sitemap, terms of use, EULA, SLA, roadmap etc.

Nowadays, so many important things happen in the social media. If you want to promote your social media pages among the users and invite them to a more informal online communication, use the example below to concisely connect users with Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Twitter or any other platform of your choice.

Tip: One of the awesome things about creating a footer using ShortPoint is that the icons are there. You don’t need to upload any info graphics such as YouTube or Facebook icons: just choose from hundreds available in the product!

When you need your users to have lots of links at hand, this is a great way to go. The below example was created as an alternative to a full-fledged site navigation that can be also presented in a header, or mega menu. This footer also features a column with all the social media links, as well as the bottom row containing copyright, policies, terms of use etc.

Tip: If you don’t want to build the footer yourself, please visit our Demos Website to copy a footer of your choice from there and paste to your site. And yes, you will be able to customize everything.

Combine the above described functionality with a text paragraph. Inform the site users about something important with a text block: let’s say, new privacy regulations, site off for maintenance warning, etc.

Tip: In ShortPoint, you can choose any color scheme for your footer that you can possibly imagine. Here is the same footer in blue (we’re just sticking to a limited color scheme for the purpose of keeping this article visually balanced).

Use a lovely countdown in the Footer if your organization members or site visitors just can’t wait for something to happen.

Tip: ShortPoint Countdown element will soon allow you to count up, not only down. Please keep up with our latest product releases to enjoy the feature soon. Watch a video about the renovated Countdown in our Knowledge Base.

Allow your users to book a meeting, fill up a form or attend a webinar by simply clicking a button in the footer.

Another color option of the same design:

Tip: use Lightbox linking option for buttons to open a link in a box on top of the existing page and  not get the user redirected to another browser tab. Here is an example:

Again, this one is useful for organizing a big, categorized site navigation inside the footer. Allows to achieve a more formal look.

Tip: ShortPoint footers can be applied both on Classic and Modern SharePoint Pages. Enhance your Modern SharePoint experience for both Team and Communication sites with our SPFx-enabled Theme Builder.

Works very well especially for public accessed websites storing lots of pages and information.

Tip: you can insert images, icons and logos into the footer, like the award badge used in the footer above. You can make those clickable, too.

Order information nicely in two, three, four or more columns. Like this:

Tip: copy and paste footers! Visit our demo site footers library for a wide selection of the most functional designs if you don’t like to spend too much time creating your own.

Include a map into your footer to point users to a direction. Users will be able to use the map live: zoom in and out, switch into Satellite mode and take advantage of the familiar Google Maps functionality.

Tip: learn more about the map element in our Demos Website.

Create an eye-catching footer by incorporating an animated text show. Users can click the arrows to turn the slides themselves, but you can as well set the text show to slide automatically in custom time intervals.

Tip: Incorporate as many slides as you need. As with all ShortPoint elements, you can combine whatever you like from any of the examples and create your own awesome footer.
