sidfoten

Sidfoten, or page footer, is the area at the bottom of a page that carries ancillary information and is commonly repeated across pages in a document or site. In traditional print publishing, sidfoten usually contains page numbers and may also display the book title, chapter name, author name, copyright notice, or publication date. In layouts that include running elements, the sidfoten may show the current chapter while page numbers appear in a fixed position. In web design and digital documents, sidfoten is implemented as a footer region that remains on most or all pages. Its content often includes copyright notices, privacy or terms links, contact information, site navigation, and social media links. The sidfoten may also include a logo or branding element and can adapt to different screen sizes through responsive design.

Design and formatting considerations depend on the medium. In print, sidfoten must respect margins, typographic hierarchy, and legibility; in digital media, it must remain accessible and usable on various devices. Common design choices include alignment (left, center or right), spacing, and the use of separators to distinguish the footer from the main content. Accessibility best practices recommend using semantic HTML (footer element), descriptive link text, and ensuring sufficient color contrast.
