To ensure that a footer symbol appears at the very end of the body on all pages in Webflow, regardless of the body size, you can follow these steps:

  1. Create a new symbol for your footer:
  • In the Webflow Designer, select the element(s) that you want to include in your footer.
  • Right-click on the selection and choose "Create Symbol." Give your symbol a relevant name, such as "Footer."
  1. Place the footer symbol on your pages:
  • Once you have created the footer symbol, navigate to each page where you want the footer to appear.
  • Drag and drop the footer symbol onto the page, positioning it within the body section.
  1. Set the footer position to absolute:
  • With the footer symbol selected, find the "Position" section in the right-hand panel of the Designer.
  • Change the position to "Absolute" by selecting it from the dropdown menu.
  • This will detach the footer symbol from the document flow and allow it to appear at the very end of the body, regardless of the body size.
  1. Adjust the bottom position of the footer symbol:
  • In the same "Position" section, you will find options to adjust the top, right, bottom, and left position of the footer symbol.
  • Set the bottom position to "0" to ensure that the footer is always aligned with the bottom edge of the body.
  • You can also use negative values for the bottom position if you want to create an overlap effect with elements above the footer.
  1. Make necessary adjustments for responsiveness:
  • Depending on your design and the content within your footer, you may need to make additional adjustments to ensure that the footer looks good on different screen sizes.
  • Use the responsive settings in the Designer to modify the width, height, padding, and margins of the footer symbol for each breakpoint to maintain a visually pleasing layout.

By following these steps, you can ensure that your footer symbol appears at the very end of the body on all pages in Webflow, regardless of the different body sizes.
