I am a fan of the minimal footer, hard to stay how much attention a footer below the fold draws customers and clients.
Nice selection – but it looks like a majority of these thumbnails have skewed their contents’ native dimensions… That’s a darn shame :(
The screenshots are not good scalled :/
Agreed. They don’t look good.
All the screen shots look like they weren’t downsized correctly. The appear to be squish horizontally.
those are some nice footers
defenitly a good source of inspiration for my next websites
thx jeffrey way
best was one probably from “ectomachine”.
Some of them i really didnt like, mostly cause they were less of footer and more the half page long…
Did I count wrong or is number 40 missing?
LOL!!! Well spotted :L
Looks like googleapis was down for about 30 minutes. Nettus was extremely slow for me. I tried Twitter to see what was happened. Too bad twitter is also using googleapis to host some javascripts, I think, and the searching function did not seem to be working. Everything is fine now, I see a few people on the twitter said they have the same problem, so at least, this is not just for me.
Humm!!! CDN may not be reliable??? (You probably remember that the amazon S3 was down a few weeks ago)
And, those footer designs are awesome! Thank you for sharing!
Considering how many websites use googleapis it’s scary to think about the effect is has when it’s down. Might make some people think twice about using it. I’ll continue to use it for the time being, but if there are any more downtimes like this, then…
Foxtie site… WOW! Just wow….
By the way.. I think sunrisedesign.com background + footer design looks a lot like viget.com.
Very pretty stuff, nice work! Still, I’m hoping that the trend of very tall footers goes away soon. Actually, I thought it was already over. :)
I’d make an exception in cases like the above, with exceptional graphics content, or in cases where a lot of information must be displayed and there’s no other good place to put it.
The one from . thepixel is very nice, love it
Some absolutely stunning sites, oh yeah we’re talking about footers. I like the horizontal scroll from deanoakley. Although I don’t think I would ever use something on one of my personal sites. I just think it’s a nice touch that I’ve only came across a few times.
I’m more of a subtle footer type of guy. For people to know it’s there, here is the information, but it’s not too in your face. But some really creative takes here that make me think twice.
Great list, thanks!

Awesome footer collection! http://www.Designzillas.com does a great job also, and they use a cave-drawing style that really ties in well with their brand in the footer. It’s worth checking out!
Great round-up :)
I’m a fan of the full-fat footer. I like it chunky and expressive, and I don’t subscribe to the ‘below the fold’ argument…
these are awesome design.And really inspiring too.
I am so happy to see my footer’s friend website, Rubbik, on this post.
Great article, with a lot of inspiration. Thank you!
Nice list of Footers. I love it.
but I still miss http://www.walloffilm.com It has a nice footer designed like it’s the bottom of a wall and the walk of fame from LA. It should really be in the list :)
Im pleased you like my work guys.. keep up the great work on this site :)
Another great post on tutsplus.
this site truely ROCK
Now that’s some really cool footers there. I always thought you should be able to do much more with footers instead of putting those crazy boring privacy policies. Thanks for the article.
Shame on you. this article is full of “Déjà Vu” :/
Really cool footer designs.
Thanks for sharing.
Great footer designs.
Thanks for inspiring me
Even if my blog’s footer doesn’t have to many illustrations, I’m a huge fan of them.
I don’t know why I love footers so much. Designers can be so creative and these examples are inspirational – Morphix being my favourite.
Really nice collection of footers. Thanks for sharing, you can also find helpful topics on newdailyblog.blogspot.com
Thanks for including mine in the minimal section! A great list.
These examples are a great way to get some new ideas!
Cool designs.

I think this is really a great thing to find out the do follow blogs. I like some of those tips and i hope they will give the desired results.
I must say all of them are really stunning designs. Really good-looking and go with the subject of being professional. I think they are really well done.

I’m a bit slow but thanks for including my footer :)
I think ThinkGeek’s footer http://www.thinkgeek.com/
I like big footers — and use them instead of sidebar, — so it not distracting from content.
Think LivingDesign footer is awesome http://www.livingdesign.info
very nice, I like them!
Amazing footer design…..http://www.vision18.co.in/studio/

Amazing collection. These footers definitely cater to the “big footer” trend.
