Footer

Overview

The following components: links, iconographic logos, badges, global settings, and static content. The footer's aim is to provide users with:

• a second chance to find content they weren't able to locate in the global header.
• a location for content that is conventionally located at the footing of an application.

General Guidelines

Positing

• Footers should never be fixed.
• The footer block should display below body content and at the bottom of the viewport.
• Content should be prioritized left to right (oriented based on the language’s character direction).

Types

Name	Desciption
Default	contains standard supplemental content that’s rarely used by the user, but is necessary to maintain legal compliance
Expanded	prepends the default header with content including links to internal IAA features, external IAA products, and social media profiles

Anatomy

Default

Note that the above footer border example is presented to distinguish the footer from background and isn't used in production

• Brand Logo - builds brand recognition and protects the trademark
• Copyright info - inform visitors of the company’s legal standing
• Terms of Use - includes details regarding what a visitor agrees to by visiting the site
• Privacy Policy - explains what information IAA collects, how it's stored and how it may be used

Expanded

• Internal Category Links - quick links to utility features and secondary tasks
• External Category Links - access to external IAA products
• Company Info - contact information including address, phone number, and email
• Social Media Profiles - links to social accounts to offer users an alternative space to get to know the company
• Default Module - must always append the components 1- 4

When to use

Variants

When choosing a color scheme for the footer module, aim to match the body and header’s scheme. Matching the body/canvas helps maintain the low visual impact that it should have with respect to the rest of the application.
