The Footer screen is where you can control and edit the content which appears in the footer section of your website. This includes some standard information such as your logo and address, links to all of your other homepages, and links to your social media accounts. Additionally you can add a number of custom items including links, images, and blocks of text.
The standard footer layout consists of 3-5 columns. The number of columns in your header will be decided during the initial set up of the homepage. While certain columns hold specific information by default—contact information in the first column, and social media in the last, the middle columns allow for additional customization.
Footer - Editing the First Column
Your contact information is populated in the first column of the footer automatically when your website is created. However, after this, you can easily edit it at any time. It consists of three basic elements: the logo, the header, and the actual text of your address/phone numbers.
Editing Your Logo
The footer displays your logo by default, but you can easily edit or remove it. To prevent the logo from appearing, click the toggle to turn it off. You can also edit or replace your logo by clicking the Edit Logo link. This will open a modal allowing you replace, crop, or rotate your logo image as well as setting several attributes like the image size—either by exact value or percentage relative to the column size—and the logo's alignment within the column.
Editing the Column Header
Like the logo, the header for this column features a toggle which allows you to prevent it from displaying on your website. You can also edit the text of the header at any time by clicking into the text field or highlighting the text that's already there and begin typing.
Editing Your Address
Like the header, editing your contact information is as easy as clicking into the appropriate text field and editing its content. Default fields include: name, street address, city, state, zip code, phone number, and fax number. If you don't want one of these fields to appear on your website, you can delete the section.

Adding Footer Column Items
In addition to the pre-populated content (contact info and organization list), you can also add a number of additional items to the columns in the footer menu - including headers, links, text fields, and images.
Click the + Add button in any available column to choose from the following customizations
Headers
In addition to the main column header, within rows you can insert a header anywhere in the column to create additional separations.
Links
This option allows you add text links into columns. These can be used to add either external links or links to pages within your website. In addition to linking the text and URLs, you also have the option to open the link in the same tab or a new tab - or you can convert the link into an email (mailto).
Text Field
Text fields allow you to create a standard block of text - these do not contain links or formatting.
Images
Images in the footer can be turned into links and allow for some basic formatting options, such as size and alignment. As with images elsewhere in CMS, you can crop or rotate them as needed.
Editing the "Additional Text" section
The Additional Text Field is an extra block of text that appears at the bottom of your footer. If the field is aligned left, it will appear at the bottom of the first column. If the field is aligned center, then it's centered in the page beneath all the column footers.
This field is designed for larger blocks of text that you might need to add into your footer. The field also provides you basic formatting options: bold, italic, strikethrough, ordered and unordered lists, and adding links.
Footer - Editing the Social Media Column
The second column of your footer, by default, displays a list of the organizations set up in the platform. This list is pulled automatically from your account and isn't editable, however, it can be toggled off so that it doesn't display.
You can also edit the text of the main column header, or toggle it off.
