Selecting New Footer Design
- Melissa Chavira
The default options for the site footer include a crimson or white background. In addition to the default options, you can also select the standard (sand background) or a simple footer set up. The process to create a new page with the simple footer is similar to adding a standard page. However, you could also edit an existing page on your site and select a new footer option. Review the two options below.
It is recommended that your footers are consistent across your website, but you do have the option to select a different footer on a page-by-page basis if it is needed.
Table of Contents
Option 1: Add a Standard Page with Simple Footer
In the Site Content tree on the left, click on the folder name where you wish to create the page.
Look for a red plus sign in the topmost header area of the page, and click on Add Content.
From the Add Content menu, click on Add Standard Pages.
Select your template style and then select the Standard Page with Simple Footer template from the menu.
Fill in your content.
Click Preview Draft (blue button at the top of the screen). After previewing the draft, click Submit to save these changes to the CMS.
The page has been successfully saved to the CMS. You must now Publish your page.

Option 2: Change an Existing Page to a Simple or Sand Footer
In the Site Content tree on the left, select the page you wish to edit.
Once the page has loaded, click Edit.
Select the Configure tab.

Inside the _cascade folder, open the formats folder and select the footer design you would like to use.
Click Choose.
Click Preview Draft. After previewing the draft, click Submit to save the page to Cascade CMS.
