Footer links – which order?

Featured Replies

I was wondering how you organise the links in your footers and what order you would recommend me.

 

At the moment, this is the text / the links in my footer, in this exact order:

 

At the left of the footer:

 

About | Polls Archive | Contact | @ 2016 Mysite.com

 

… and at the right of the footer:

 

Go to the top ⇧

 

 

"Polls Archive" is basically an archive of polls that sometimes appear on the main page, in the side bar. Nothing too big or too important, that's why the link to the archive is in the footer.

 

 

But I'm not too sure about the order of the left side of my footer. Would you put "Polls Archive" in the first place maybe, and "About" in the second? Or what would you recommend? Or would you leave it as is?

Haha I guess I'm kind of a perfectionist. So everything has to be at the right place. :D

 

I was thinking about putting the ones first that are the most important, then the least important ones…

If you are a perfectionist the links should add value.

 

So you need: Home | Polls | About | Contact

 

Bin the copyright as it means nothing (it's implicit) and make better use of the right side to add more links.

Very few people click the links in the footer. But I think it's nice to have presentation-wise. Put them in the same order as they would appear in the header.

footer links are not important. they are using just to add terms and conditions, privacy policy pages etc. important pages like about and contact should be in the footer. to be honest i wouldnt bother having any links in the footer as it only increases the amount of links you have on a web page. Google recommends a max of 100 links per web page

In footer section, add privacy policy, terms of service and contact us links. But do not add the blog link in the footer section because users usually do not check the links in the footer section. I have seen many websites, where the blog links are added in the footer section. The blog is a very important section of a website. Therefore, it should have a high visibility.

Some best ideas to create best footer is:

  • Keep the Design Simple
  • Link to Your Information
  • Include Basic Contact Information
  • Organize Footer Links
  • Include a Copyright Notice
  • Include a Call to Action
  • Use Graphic Elements

If you post the site, we can click them all and tell you which were the most pleasurable.
