With the rising popularity of standards based design, more sites are taking advantage of the entire Web page, adding useful elements to the bottom of the page.

The typical footer links – About Us, Feedback, Copyright, Privacy Policy, etc. – are indeed useful, but not necessarily the things a user is looking for when reaching the bottom of the page. Designers need to give as much attention to the footer design as to the other elements on the page.

Below is a list of 50 sites I gathered from around the web who have footers that caught my eye. This collection aims to showcase just some of the ways talented web designers have decided to utilize their website footers to provide that extra bit of improvement in the user’s experience.

If anyone knows of any other sites with killer footers please share them in the comments below. I would like to have it in my sequel entry. Enjoy!
