Aashna Jena commented on CAMEL-15185:
-------------------------------------
Really like [Hook Agency website's footer design|https://hookagency.com/]. It's
got contact info, logo, subscription form, social media icons etc. The mobile
design skips the sitemap and places the logo on top with the rest of the
information below it. I also really like the slanting top border for the footer
(Not sure if that fits for our site) and the contrast between background
colours of the page & footer (this is something we can do with our website).
[Sephora's website|https://www.sephora.com/] has topic wise links in the footer
but in the mobile view, it's displayed as dropdowns, which looks like a good
option to me if we want to keep topic-wise links.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-15185
> Project: Camel
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: website
> Reporter: Aashna Jena
> Priority: Major
> Labels: outreachy2020, suggestions
>
> I have some reservations about the website footer. On the mobile view, the
> footer takes up almost the entire height of my device because the Overview,
> Community and About columns do not fit into one row. Secondly, on the desktop
> view, the header navigation is fixed at the top, so I can view the header
> menu while I'm at the footer of the page. Having same links visible on the
> header menu and footer doesn't make sense to me (Download, Community, Blog
> etc). I do see a lot of websites having menu links on the footer, but they
> don't have a fixed navbar.
> Suggestions : I looked up best practices for footers. I think we can reduce
> the number of links we display on the footer, especially the ones overlapping
> with header menu. We can also add some things (from what I read up on best
> practices) - form for subscribing to the mailing list, sitemap link, contact
> information, link to report a bug on the website, privacy policy/ terms of
> use (if we have) and maybe a subscription for the blog, since we have quite
> informative and regular blog posts. I also really like the idea of having a
> row of social media icons in the footer, which a lot of websites do. This
> will give us the freedom of adding many more icons than on the header menu.
