There is no built-in component for creating the fixed/sticky or simple footer like forms, buttons, tooltips, popovers, etc. However, by using a few CSS styles/properties you may create a fixed or static footer easily.
You may include other components in the footer with a few lines of code.
In this article, I am going to show you a few footer templates based on Bootstrap 4 framework that you may use in your Bootstrap projects.
An example of a fixed/sticky footer
You simply need to use the <footer> tag after all other content where you require to refer the .footer class shown below. It will create a sticky footer that remains fixed even vertical scroll bar appears.
The style for the footer:
<style>
.footer {
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 55px;
background-color: #DFDFDF;
}
</style>
The markup used for the footer:
<footer class="footer">
<div class="container">
<p>© Company Name | Privacy Policy | Terms of Service</p>
</div>
</footer>
In the CSS code, you can see the position is used as fixed. That makes the footer fixed as you scroll down the page.
Tweaking a little for centered text and linear background
This sticky footer is centered text and uses padding for lowering the text along with changing the background a bit. For that, a linear background is added along with other properties to stand out in the fixed footer. Have a look:
Only this style is changed than the above example:
<style>
.footer {
position: fixed;
height: 55px;
bottom: 0;
color:#fff;
padding-top:20px;
width: 100%;
background: #00003E;
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(to right, #31BDE6, #00003E);
background: linear-gradient(to right, #31BDE6, #00003E);
text-align:center;
}
</style>
A large size static footer example
You may use this large footer menu in Bootstrap if the footer is supposed to contain many links. For example, for services like hosting, an e-commerce store or any other website, the footer may require presenting a good number of link or information that goes across the site. Have a look at the demo and code of CSS and HTML:

Large footer style number 2
The markup and most of the CSS are the same for this footer template as in the above example. I just changed the linear background colors for both footer classes along with the button style, payment option icon size, etc. Have a look:
The CSS:
.footer {
height: auto;
padding-bottom: 30px;
position: relative;
width: 100%;
color:#fff;
border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC;
border-top: 1px solid #DDDDDD;
background: #182765;
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(to right, #FDBD37, #B92020, #182765);
background: linear-gradient(to right, #FDBD37, #B92020, #182765);
}
And
.footer-bottom {
background: #d9a7c7;
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(to right, #fffcdc, #d9a7c7);
background: linear-gradient(to right, #fffcdc, #d9a7c7);
border-top: 1px solid #DDDDDD;
padding-top: 20px;
padding-bottom: 40px;
color:#000;
}
