Footer

The footer allows you to insert various kinds of contact information.

Each element within the footer requires user information to be included within the custom element of the site.xml. This page will outline each option. The current design splits the footer into two vertical columns. The left side contains contact information, while the right contains social media, copyright and powered by sections.

Footer Style

You are able to modify the CSS classes applied to the footer element on the HTML page by setting the <footer><style> element. The default value is footer mt-auto py-4 bg-light.

<project name="xxx">
  [...]
  <custom>
    <bootstrapSkin>
      <footer>
        <style>footer mt-auto py-4 bg-light</style>
      </footer>
    </bootstrapSkin>
  </custom>
  [...]
</project>

Contact Section

The Contact section, allows you to define various electronic and physical contact methods. Not all sections need to be completed, the system will simply skip empty blocks. Below is an example

<project name="xxx">
