Want to ensure quick and important links are always available to website visitors? Create a footer menu!
Adding a footer menu to your website lets your shoppers navigate to additional content on your website. It's a fixed menu, meaning it appears at the bottom of your website no matter which page a shopper visits. For this reason, it's useful for housing pages like your About Us, Terms of Use, and Privacy Policy. You can also link to your social accounts, Google and Apple Store links (for your mobile app), and more.
With Site Creator, you have complete control over your footer menu layout. You can:
- Add your brand logo
- Choose with pages to link
- Enter social media URLs to populate clickable social media icons
- Customize your newsletter email popup
- Add additional footer text, like a customer service email
