About this Blog Footer Template

For a blog or content-driven site, the end of an article is a critical moment to encourage further action. This footer is designed to seize that opportunity. It gives the most prominent space to a newsletter signup, making it the primary call-to-action. Secondary columns provide readers with easy paths to explore more content by category or follow you on social platforms.

Features

Newsletter-First Design: The layout prioritizes the subscription form to maximize signups.
Content-Oriented Links: Includes columns perfect for listing popular post categories or series.
Accessible Form: The signup form includes a properly associated label for screen reader accessibility.
Responsive Layout: Built with CSS Grid, the layout shifts from a stacked mobile view to a multi-column desktop view.
Aligned Page Layout: Uses a shared .container class to ensure the footer aligns perfectly with the main page content.

Ideal Use Cases

Personal and Professional Blogs
Online Magazines and News Sites
Portfolio websites with a blog section.
Any website focused on content marketing and building a subscriber list.

Code Breakdown

The template is built inside a shared .container for alignment. The footer's main section, .footer-blog__main, is a CSS Grid container. On mobile, it defaults to a single column, stacking the newsletter form and link sections. On screens wider than 768px, it switches to a two-column layout, giving the newsletter section more space to emphasize its importance.

The .footer-blog__bottom bar uses Flexbox to neatly align the copyright notice and social media links. All icons are simple, self-contained SVGs that inherit color via CSS for easy theming.
