Footer-11 Instructions

Your website has been deployed with one default footer for use on all pages in your website. This is configured using a footer banner, which is applied in the Page Layout & Appearance settings for each page:

Name	Description
TB Footer 11	The Footer banner displays at the bottom of the page and consists of the following features: Logo & School name School contact details Social media icon links Footer quick links Text statement A row of accreditation logos Footer utility links

The following pixel dimensions are recommended for the images uploaded to the Resources module for use in the footer. Following these guidelines will help you to achieve an ideal balance of visual quality and loading speed for your content:

Image Area	Width (pixels)	Height (pixels)
School Logo*	512	No min or max
Accreditation Logos	256	No min or max

* The footer logo is set to display with a maximum height of 60px to ensure a succinct presentation. If the height of the uploaded image exceeds this, the logo will be scaled down automatically to fit in the space available, without becoming squashed or stretched.

To apply the default footer to a specific page:

1. Go to the ’Pages’ panel and select the desired page.
2. Click the ‘Compose’ toggle in the bar at the bottom of the page interface.
3. Refresh the page in your web browser.
4. Click on the ‘Page Layout & Appearance’ icon button to the right of the ‘Compose’ toggle.
5. Set the ‘Footer’ dropdown to ‘TB Footer 11’.
6. Check that the ‘Theme’ dropdown is set to ‘FS Theme Builder’.
7. Click on the ‘Save’ button in the ‘Page Layout & Appearance’ window.

Note: The default footer is compatible with all page layout options in the ‘Page Layout & Appearance’ window. Please refer to the ‘Interior Page’ section within these instructions for full guidance on where and how to set up the default interior page layout.

The logo and school name in the default footer are powered by two Location elements, with the content they display feeding in from location information added to the Locations module. 

Important: The ‘Location Name’ field in the Locations module powers the school name in both the footer and the header. Please check that any updates to this field display effectively in both panels.
