About this Social Feed Footer Template

This template turns your footer into a living, breathing part of your website. The design is centered around a placeholder for a third-party social media widget. This allows you to stream your latest posts directly into your footer, providing constantly updated content that encourages users to follow you. The template includes a clear heading and a "Follow Us" button to maximize engagement.

Features

Widget-Ready Design: Provides a perfectly styled container for a third-party social feed widget (e.g., from Instagram, Twitter/X, or TikTok).
Engaging & Dynamic: Automatically keeps your website content fresh without manual updates.
Follow CTA: Includes a prominent button to convert website visitors into social media followers.
Clean & Modern: A simple, bright design that lets the visual content of the feed take center stage.
Note on Implementation: To make this footer functional, you will need to sign up for a social media widget service and paste their provided code snippet into the designated area of the template.

Code Breakdown

The layout is structured with two main sections. The .footer-feed__main section is for the widget itself. It includes a header with a title and a follow button, styled with Flexbox. Below that is the .footer-feed__widget-placeholder, which is a CSS Grid container showing a grid of placeholder images. This is where a developer would insert the actual widget code. A key CSS rule, display: block, is applied to the placeholder img elements to ensure they render as perfect squares without unwanted extra space.
