A compact final footer strip for copyright, organisation identity, registration details, and legal links.

When To Use

Use	Avoid
A compact final footer strip for copyright, organisation identity, registration details, and legal links.	Avoid using this component when the content has a different job or needs a simpler plain-text treatment.
Use layout sections to create predictable page regions and reusable responsive structure.	Avoid changing approved colours, typography, logo artwork, or class names to create a local style guide.
Use the starter markup as a copy/paste baseline for websites, Ghost HTML blocks, generated pages, or print previews.	Avoid copying placeholder IDs, links, contact details, or image paths without replacing them.

Subfooter Layout Notes

Area	Use	Avoid
Purpose	Use for the final low-emphasis strip on a website: copyright, organisation name, ABN, ACNC status, privacy, accessibility, contact, or terms links.	Avoid using it as the main contact footer, site map, campaign footer, or partner-logo area.
Content	Keep the line short and factual. Put the organisation name in real text and use links only for useful legal or accountability destinations.	Avoid slogans, social feeds, repeated navigation, badges, or long acknowledgements in this area.
Relationship to footer	Use after the full footer when a site needs both detailed contact/navigation and a final legal strip. Use alone on simple sites that only need minimal closing details.	Avoid duplicating the same links in the full footer and subfooter unless there is a clear legal or usability reason.
