What does the component do?

The footer is the bottom section of a page. It contains links to further content, legal information and contact details. The content usually consists of link lists. In the "clock-columns" variant it is arranged in columns.

When should the component be used?

  • On every page of a website, to provide consistent information and navigation.
  • To offer contact details, legal information and further links.
Usage

Rules.

  • The footer contains only relevant information, for example legal notice, privacy policy and contact.
  • The footer should not be overloaded. The most important information is easy to find.
  • The SBB clock is a fixed part of the footer and may only be removed for internal applications.
  • The footer needs a title for screen readers (accessibility-title). It is not visually displayed.

Documentation.

The <sbb-footer> component is used to display page related information like copyright, contact or other
content related links; for these, the sbb-link-list component can be used.

Variants.

There are two variants of the footer: the variant='default', which displays the slotted content in regular
block element approach and the variant='clock-columns', which uses a CSS-grid for displaying the content over different
breakpoints.

Note:
Content, like <sbb-link-list> that could come along with a button, needs to be wrapped with a <div> element with a helper
class (class="sbb-link-list-button-group") to be displayed correctly.
