Overview

Creating a sticky footer in Webflow means making sure your site's footer sticks to the bottom of the screen, even when content is sparse, or adjusts its position as needed when more content is present. This keeps the layout neat and user-friendly. Use custom CSS or tweak Webflow's flexbox settings to get this done. When set up correctly, a sticky footer ensures easy access and good looks on short and long pages alike.

How to create a sticky footer in Webflow?

Step 1: Create the Structure

  • Open your Webflow project and head to the page where you want to add that sticky footer.
  • Add a div element to act as the main wrapper for your content. You can call it something like main-wrapper.
  • Inside the main-wrapper, add another div element for the content, and name it content.
  • Below the content div, add another div element for the footer, and name it footer.

Step 2: Add Styles to Main Wrapper

  • Select the main-wrapper div.
  • Set its min-height to 100vh (which means 100% of the viewport height).
  • Change the display property to flex.
  • Set the flex-direction to column.

Step 3: Style the Content Div

  • Select the content div.
  • Set the flex-grow property to 1. This will make the content take up all the available space left by the footer.

Step 4: Style the Footer Div

  • Select the footer div.
  • Add the necessary style rules, like background color, padding, font size, etc.
  • Make sure the footer doesn't have any specific height constraints that might mess with its stickiness.

Step 5: Preview and Publish

  • Use the Webflow Preview mode to check if the footer sticks to the bottom of the page when there's not enough content.
  • Publish the site to confirm the sticky footer behavior is working correctly.

These steps should help you set up a sticky footer in Webflow without any external code, leveraging Webflow's built-in styling capabilities.
