**Layout › Footer Builder** designs the band at the bottom of every page. A **Live Preview** at the top updates as you work. The footer has four tabs: **Major Settings**, **Design**, **Responsive** and **Builder**.

## Builder: rows, columns, elements

*Rows stack vertically. Columns inside a row sit side by side.*

- **Add Row** starts a three-column band; **Vertical Row** starts a single full-width one.
- Each row has **Row settings**: **Column Layout** (1 full width, 2 halves, 3 thirds, 4 quarters, 2 : 1, 1 : 2, or custom per column), **Gap**, **Vertical Align**, **Stack Columns** (*on tablet and below* — recommended, *on mobile only*, or *never*), **Hide This Row On** a screen size, a **Divider Below Row**, padding and its own background.
- Each column has **Content Alignment** and **Hide This Column On**; select **Add Column** to add more.

Add elements to a column:

| Element | Use it for |
| --- | --- |
| **Heading** | A column title, such as *Quick links*. |
| **Text** | Your address, opening hours, a short about line. |
| **Image** | Your logo, or certification badges — with alt text and an optional link. |
| **Links** | **Manual Links** (select **+ Add Page Link…** for your pages, or **Custom Link** for any address), or an automatic list of your **Image Galleries** or **Video Galleries**. |
| **Social Links** | Icons for the profiles in [Social Links](https://www.nijeesweb.com/docs/website/header-footer/social-links). |
| **Email Input** | An email box with a button, styled to match the footer. |

> [!WARNING]
> The **Email Input** element is visual only at the moment — it does not save or send the addresses typed into it. To collect newsletter sign-ups, link to a page with a [form](https://www.nijeesweb.com/docs/website/content/forms) instead.

## Design

Footer-wide styling: **Background** (solid, gradient or image, with a **Tint Overlay**), **Spacing & Layout** (padding, margin, corner radius, content width), and global styles for **Headings**, **Text**, **Links**, **Social Icons** and the **Email Input**. The **Bottom Bar** holds the **Copyright Text** and an optional divider.

## Responsive

The same three sizes as the header — **Mobile** (up to 575 px), **Tablet** (576–991 px), **Desktop** (992 px and up). Switch on **Override → Use different padding / alignment here** for tablet or mobile to change the padding or text alignment there.

## Major Settings

**Status** — *Active* shows the footer; *Inactive* hides it on every page.

> [!TIP]
> A good footer has: your address and phone (people look for them here), quick links to your main pages, social icons, links to your privacy policy, and a copyright line with the current year.
