Footer

Overview

Provide access to related FPAC products or links not directly associated with application.

These are not required footer structures; rather, they effectively serve as an acceptable UI Pattern for a footer using the Design System styles and parts.

Responsive

View on a larger screen or device to fully appreciate Responsive Web Design rendering.

Usage

Use

  • When an Application requires a global footer within the application.
  • When an Application requires additional application specific navigation or links to documentation.

Don’t Use

  • As as a component that is not anchored to the bottom of the page.
  • As a jump menu that directs Users to content on the same page.

Accessibility

Always refer to the Accessibility Guide for overall guidance.

  • Maintain the Unordered List and Anchor Link structure of the HTML to allow a User to Tab thru each element of the navigation.
  • If a telephone number is used, follow the specific spacing structure of the aria-label provided in the example code. This will ensure proper 508 compliance and allow screen readers to speak the phone number in the appropriate format and cadence.

General Guidance

  • The first column of the Global Footer is used for application-specific links to supplemental content, such as Handbooks.
  • The links in the remaining columns are generally common and may be included
