Footer is an effective way to organize a lot of site navigation and information at the end of a page. This is the place where a user will look once they have finished scrolling through the current page or are looking for additional information about the website.

Flexbox is used to structure the html so that the footer is always on the bottom of the page. It is important to keep the structure of page within the three HTML5 tags <header>, <main> and <footer> as shown below.




<body>
    <header></header>
    <main></main>
    <footer></footer>
</body>


Example:

HTML




<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  
<head>
  <title>
    The Materialize Footer Example
  </title>
  <meta name="viewport" content=
    "width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
  <link rel="stylesheet" href=
  <script src=
  </script>
</head>
  
<body class="container">
  
  <!-- Define the footer -->
  <footer class="page-footer green">
    <div class="container ">
      <div class="row">
        <div class="col l6 s12">
          <h5 class="white-text">
            Footer Content
          </h5>
          <p class="grey-text text-lighten-4">
            Rows and columns are
            used to organize the footer content.
          </p>
  
        </div>
        <div class="col l4 offset-l2 s12">
          <h5 class="white-text">Links</h5>
          <ul>
            <li>
              <a class="grey-text text-lighten-3" href="#!">
                Link 1
              </a>
            </li>
            <li>
              <a class="grey-text text-lighten-3" href="#!">
                Link 2
              </a>
            </li>
            <li>
              <a class="grey-text text-lighten-3" href="#!">
                Link 3
              </a>
            </li>
          </ul>
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
    <div class="footer-copyright green darken-3">
      <div class="container ">

      </div>
    </div>
  </footer>
</body>
  
</html>


Output:

Sticky Footer: A sticky footer always stays on the bottom of the page regardless of how little content is on the page. However, this footer will be pushed down if there is a lot of content, so it is different from a fixed footer. Add the following code to your CSS file.

  body {
    display: flex;
    min-height: 100vh;
    flex-direction: column;
  }

  main {
    flex: 1 0 auto;
  }
