E-commerce website optimization

E-commerce website optimization is a frequent area of discussion at ASTRALCOM. We obsess over ways to drive conversions and impact through clear, easy-to-navigate web solutions. Let’s dive into the case for a sticky footer.

A footer is the bar of “small text,” useful information at the bottom of a website. On most web pages, a user scrolls all the way to the bottom down to see the footer. In the case of a sticky footer, that information is always visible at the lower part of the user’s browser as they scrolls down the page – meaning they aren’t required to scroll ad infinitum in order to see the details in the footer. If your site has a long homepage or long scrolls are required on purchase pages, sticky footers are a great way to ensure that users can get to the CTA with as little difficulty as possible.

Additionally, there’s the case to be made that footers add credibility to a site. While long-scroll or infinite scroll sites certainly have an elegant, on-trend feel, most users expect to see key details at the bottom of a site that can ground a company in credible, reliable facts. Some of these might include a link to a “contact us” page, a phone number, an address, an FAQ page link, a privacy policy, and clickable social media icons. Not only are these details useful in offering legitimacy – they can add a boost to your SEO.

Sticky footers can play the role of containing certain CTA’s. A persistent call to action – such as an “opt-in to email communications” box, discount code or a link to another essential page on your site can add relevance and timeliness. When CTA information is helpful, relevant and up to date, customers are more likely to engage.
