# Footer

> Configure Everest's footer columns, utility content, localization controls, and footer block types.

The footer controls the global bottom area of the Everest storefront. It combines shared footer settings with reusable blocks, so the main decisions are about information density, utility links, branding, localization, payment methods, and overall footer styling.

Everest's footer also depends on global brand and social settings. That means logo, brand text, description, and social profile links can all affect the final footer output even when the section settings stay the same.

## Best practices

* Keep the footer information hierarchy clear by mixing one broader information block with smaller link columns.
* Review desktop and mobile layouts together when you change the column count or block mix.
* Use shared brand and social settings before troubleshooting missing footer content.
* Keep footer menus concise so the lower part of the storefront stays easy to scan.
