Update the footer

A footer should help visitors find real information and useful next steps. Keep its links accurate and distinguish a simple wording change from adding new pages.

Before you start

  • Confirmed footer text and working destinations.
  • For direct mode: a unique phrase in a static HTML file.
  • For structural changes: the shared footer component.

How to do it

  1. Check which information is outdated and which destinations already exist.
  2. Use the direct tool to replace a unique text phrase, or the AI prompt to update the structure.
  3. Open every footer link, including any contact and privacy page.
  4. Check wrapping on mobile and ensure the footer is consistent across routes.

The footer communicates accurate information and connects visitors to existing resources.

MAKE IT YOURS

Use with an AI coding tool

1 Describe your change

Use your own words. You do not need a file name. The prompt asks the AI to preserve unrelated work.

We remember this choice on this device. Choosing a tool does not connect it to this website.

2 Copy your prompt

Read the complete prompt below, then copy it.

3 Paste into your AI coding tool

Open your website or app project in your AI coding tool. Paste this into its AI chat box and send it. The tool needs access to your project files to make changes.

A website address alone does not give an AI permission or access to edit it. This prompt goes into an AI chat, not a regular terminal window.

4 Check the result

Check all links, text accuracy, mobile stacking, and visual consistency.

Open your project preview and try the change. Review what changed before publishing. If it is wrong, use your tool’s undo or restore your saved project version.

If the result is not what you expected

A link points to a placeholder

Create the destination or remove the link until it exists.

Only one page changed

The site may use duplicated HTML instead of a shared footer. Identify all intended instances.

Undo the change

Restore the exact text or footer component change. Keep any separately created pages unless you also intend to remove them.

References & testing

The examples above explain the expected behavior; they are not a claim that this prompt has been tested in every framework or AI model. The direct tool uses our shared local-edit engine; native Windows execution remains unverified.
