Mini footers are an alternative to traditional footers on websites with infinite scroll. In these designs, information typically found in footers is instead integrated into a sidebar or within an expanded global navigation menu.

It's important to differentiate footer designs for static-length pages (with a definite end) and dynamic-length pages (like those with infinite scroll). Using the same footer style for both can lead to user frustration. On dynamic-length pages, users might struggle to click on footer links, as new content loading pushes the footer out of view, creating a "whack-a-mole" effect.
