I always think I let my designs down when it comes to the footer. But these are top examples of interesting footers and great inspiration.
Idragons, 07 March 2011
nice collection, what do you think about our footer?
Dutch, 07 March 2011
You should’ve included footers without illustrations. They are nice, but you cannot use these kind of footers for all types of websites.
Tugi, 07 March 2011
Completely agree with u, I specialise in desiging company websites and they need to have a serious design rather than casual. These footers are very creative but not suitable for all types of websites.
