Module 4: Footer

Hello, welcome back to Module 4 of the Basic CMS Training. This video is about footer.

The footer is the bar of content that appears throughout your website, and usually contains your department’s contact information.

To customize your footer, go to the back end, and from the navigation menu, scroll down to “Site Options”. Here, you will see a “Department Info” tab, where you can input your Department’s contact information such as phone number and email address; and a “Social & Sharing” tab, where you can put links to your social media accounts.

I have added information in some of the fields, and now I will click “Update” to save my changes. Let’s go to the front end and see how it looks!
