Social media links

Social media links

Another common feature of footers is social media links. These are often included as icons that link to the brand's Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, or other social media accounts. 

Why place social links in the footer and not the header? When users click one of those icons, they'll land on a site that does everything possible to keep these users. They can easily get distracted and forget about your product. For this reason, it's crucial to include social media icons in the footer.

Only include links to social accounts that are regularly updated. Old, outdated posts don't add to the credibility of a company.
