Customizing Handy's footer – Pixel Union

Like a footer on a document or report, a website footer contains information listed at the bottom of a page. Typically, the footer is the area that visitors expect to find the policies and other legal information, such as terms and conditions and privacy policies. Often this space is also used to feature links to FAQs, size guides, and contact information. Handy provides the space to display all of these and more.
