Footer
Footers are a secondary element in a web page because they usually appear at the bottom and it is the last thing that the user interacts with. But the presence of the footer must be designed in every application and be part of it (consumer or back-office) as it is a key layout element to the overall experience. It is a choice of the designer to either leave the footer visible by default or push it down, depending on the use case.
The footer is part of the application layout, so it can only be used inside of it. Please check the DxcApplicationLayout documentation.
- The footer frame should be docked at the bottom of the page and should not scroll with any of the data within working section of the screen.
- The footer frame should span the entire screen width.
- The footer frame should display the copyright information at the right margin.
- We recommend uploading either an alternate version or a smaller brand image than the used in the header. If the company has an alternate version of the logo, isotype, imagotype or isologo available, we encourage to use it. In the opposite case a smaller version of the main brand image can be used.
