A Practical Footer Editing Order for Easy-to-Find Festival Information

A footer is not just a place to collect contact details at the bottom of a page. It is often the last place visitors look for practical information. Cultural events connect schedules, venues, and booking instructions, so start by deciding what visitors need and checking the destinations of the links before polishing the design. The hypothetical event “City Sounds Week” is used in the examples below.

1. List the questions visitors will have

Write down three to five questions someone might ask after reading the event page. For example: “When is it?”, “Where is it?”, “How do I book a ticket?”, and “Where can I check for changes?” These questions give you a practical basis for choosing and ordering footer items.

• Gather the event dates and opening hours, venue, and directions.
• Confirm the booking or registration address and the contact method.
• If cancellation, change, or accessibility information is available, identify the page that actually contains it.
• Keep essential details such as the organizing body’s name, and leave out unrelated links.

**Hypothetical example:** The footer for “City Sounds Week” will include “June 12–15 · Civic Hall,” “Booking information,” “Getting here,” and “Event enquiries.” The dates and venue must match the information on the event overview page.

2. Order items by visitor priority

Put the information visitors are most likely to need first. For many cultural events, an order of dates and venue, booking, and contact details is easy to understand. For a free event that requires registration, however, registration may deserve the first position. Rather than adding many items, use labels whose purpose is clear at a glance.

• Use a specific label such as “Booking information” instead of a vague one such as “Learn more.”
• Do not show dates alone if visitors also need opening hours or a final entry time.
• Avoid copying long explanations into the footer; separate a short key detail from a link to the full information.
• Do not repeat the same destination under several different labels.

3. Edit the footer in TalkTalkMySite

In TalkTalkMySite’s visual editor, select the footer area and add the required text and links item by item. If you are still building the site, first prepare the pages that those links will open. If a destination page does not yet exist, do not publish a placeholder address. Hold off on that footer item and add it once the page is ready.

• Match the event name and organizing body’s name to how they appear on the other pages.
• Link booking, venue information, and enquiries to pages that serve those specific purposes.
• Distinguish headings from supporting text so the footer does not make too many details compete for attention.
• Check text size and spacing, and make sure the text is easy to distinguish from the background.

TalkTalkMySite provides six OFL Korean fonts with live previews. If you want to change fonts, use the preview to compare how Korean dates and long venue names look. Neither a font choice nor an editor feature guarantees readability, so check the rendered result yourself.

4. Check links and the mobile layout in order

Do not publish based only on the appearance in the editing view. Open the event site, click each link, and confirm that it leads to the intended destination. Then review the content at a phone-sized width. A footer may collapse or change from several columns to one, so check that the information still appears in a sensible order on mobile.

• Compare the event dates and venue with the overview and booking information pages.
• Open the booking and enquiry links and confirm that the correct pages load.
• Check that venue names and phone numbers are not cut off or displayed at a difficult-to-read size.
• If a message will remain after the event ends, decide who will update it and when.

**Hypothetical example:** If “Getting here” appears before the booking link on mobile and the booking link opens a page for a different event, change the order and correct the link, then check the footer again.

5. Separate search settings from post-publication checks

Editing a footer does not guarantee search rankings or visitor numbers. TalkTalkMySite Basic supports shared SEO settings, while Standard supports per-page SEO settings. When refining a title or description for an event page, make sure it accurately reflects the event name and content. HEAD meta tags work on published sites, but custom scripts run only on connected customer domains. Do not assume that custom scripts are needed to display footer information; first check the limits of the settings you intend to use.

• When event details change, compare the footer with the pages it links to.
• After publishing, check the footer, links, and mobile display on the live site.
• If a destination or event schedule changes, record who made the update and when.

Your next action is to gather the event schedule and booking address, then choose no more than five footer items. Edit the items whose information is confirmed first. Before publishing, open the mobile view and test every link once.
