Let's customize the footer of your Squarespace 7.1 websites with CSS. The footer design is almost as important as the header design. It’s on every page, there’s tons of opportunity to keep visitors moving around your site, and it’s a great place to sneak in an extra call to action.

HERE'S WHAT TO DO:
Add a line above the footer: You can change the color and thickness of the line.
Tip! This is nice to use when your footer is the same color as the background of your site.
footer {
border-top-style: solid;
border-right-style: none;
border-bottom-style: none;
border-left-style: none;
border-width: 4px;
border-color: #7cccbd;
}
Add a drop shadow:
#footer-sections {
box-shadow: 5px 5px 12px black;
position: relative;
z-index: 2;
}
Center all the text on mobile:
@media only screen and (max-width:750px){ #footer-sections * {text-align:center}}
