Internet Publishing: RWD Footers & Integrating Social Media

Interactivity

In Chapter 2: Interactivity Advantage, you learned that a well-designed website should include elements that enable the website publisher and website visitors to engage in interactive, two-way communication. You also learned about a variety of elements you can use to promote interactivity, such as contact pages, social media integration, and web-based forms. Interactive elements also can serve as calls-to-action.

Footers are a great way to implement interactivity!

Footers

Responsive Footers are sections at the bottom of a website's pages that adjust their layout and design based on the screen size and device being used. They typically contain important information such as navigation links, contact details, privacy terms, and social media icons ensuring accessibility and usability across different devices.
