What do you suggest is the best way to place a footer at the bottom of the page? I already have a Container for the whole page which contains the Navigator and banner but the rest of the page is empty. What I am looking to create is a basic design for every page including a footer, make a Global of it which I can then use on every other page.

Yes, exactly, make it a global and place it on every page!

Here’s a quick video showing the basics of using Globals. let me know if you have any further questions.

The free fitness example project has a global footer and is a great example of this.

Sorry, you missed my main point. I will repeat. What do you suggest is the best method to place a footer at the bottom of a page? Or does my question just show a basic lack of understanding.

What I would do is use a Container, put whatever you want to include in the footer in the container and style as you’d like. Then make that a Global, and put at the end of each page.

I think what he means is, that the footer is on the bottom page no matter the content size.

If it is the last element placed on the page, it _should_ be always at the end.

At the end yes … but not at the bottom of the screen. Anyway let see what @paulcruice really wants 😃

I put a footer fixed to the bottom of the screen with  
CSS Class: fixed bottom-0  
Margin: Auto for horizontal

Hope that helps

Nicolas, I think my comment about showing a basic lack of knowledge is probably the issue. I am looking to create a Global which will go on every page. But what I don’t think I have understood, is that as I add more to the middle of the page my footer will automatically find itself on the bottom of the page.
