Re: Whats in YOUR footer?
Glad to see this thread's still active!
I put a "Website by" link to my own site, when the client allows. (Very last line.)
I try to put a "Contact the webmaster" link (usually linked to a customized version of the site's contact form) as well. If anyone finds something broken on the site (hasn't happened yet, thankfully!), I'd rather get the message than having the client get it!
I agree with flsurfkarma, and put W3C Valid (X)HTML and Valid CSS seals whenever the site is coded well enough (again, depends on the client - and whether they paid for careful enough coding).
Commonly now I'll put something similar to:
©200X [site owner's corporate name]. Unauthorized use of [site owner's corporate name]'s files is prohibited.
Often I'll put the client's phone # and mailing address right in the footer. Nowadays, who uses a phone book? Visitors come to the site just to get this info sometimes and the footer is the first place to look for it, so it seems like a courtesy - though occasionally you DO want to force them to click around a bit before they find it.
