Footers are a great way to organize a lot of site navigation and information at the end of a page. This is where the user will look once they have finished scrolling through the current page or are looking for additional information about your website.
Introduction
Note: We use flexbox to structure our html so that the footer is always on the bottom of the page. It is important to keep the structure of your page within the 3 HTML5 tags: <header>, <main>, <footer>

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.
Note: This may cause issues in Internet Explorer which has weak support for flexbox.
