Footer — layout options

Six structural layouts for the same footer content, not six colourways. Every link, phone number, credential and legal line below is real — taken from the live site's own footer on 2026-09-03 — with the client's 2026-08-27 cuts already applied. Palette is the confirmed Brand Kit: NIGHT #003B53, CONFIDENCE #FFD457, FREEDOM #93BCCD, LAW #FFFAEB. Type is Montserrat throughout.

Internal working sheet, not a client deliverable. Nothing here has been through pre-flight.

KeptPhone 425-250-0205, contact@equinoxbusinesslaw.com, Explore column, Community Involvement, the subscribe form and its consent line, the four legal links, the three credential badges.
RemovedFacebook and Twitter icons (client, 2026-08-27). EO Portland and Women in Finance from Community Involvement (same). The live footer's five social icons become two: LinkedIn and YouTube.
CorrectedDark is NIGHT #003B53, not the live site's #004963. The live copyright line reads “Equinox Law Group PLLC” while its own consent line reads “Equinox Business Law Group PLLC” — these sheets use the full name; the canonical name is already an open question for the client.
PlaceholderNo street address appears anywhere in the live footer, so none is drawn here. Credential badges are set as type, not the client's badge images — those files have not been supplied. Logo is the Brand Kit raster; vector is still requested.
1Four-column classic Sourced

The live footer's own structure, cleaned to the confirmed palette and the client's cuts. Brand column carries the phone at size; three link columns; credentials and states on their own rule; legal bar last. Safest option — nothing here asks the client to relearn anything.

2Conversion band on top Sourced

Same four columns, preceded by a CTA band carrying both sold CTAs. Treats the footer as the last conversion surface for anyone who scrolled the whole page without acting. Costs vertical height; and it repeats a CTA the page has already made twice.

3Newsletter split Sourced

The subscribe form is the only interactive thing the live footer has, so this gives it half the width instead of burying it. Links compress to three tight columns; phone, email and social drop to a contact strip. Bet: the list matters more than the link grid.

4Credentials first Sourced

Opens on a pale LAW band carrying the three third-party credentials the live footer already holds — WBENC, PSBJ 100 Fastest-Growing, 425 Best in Business. Facts, not self-claim: these are the only lines in any footer option that someone else said about the firm.

5Minimal Stretch

One nav row, phone, social, legal. Light LAW ground rather than NIGHT. Bet: a footer is not a navigation surface — the mega menu already does wayfinding, and everything else here is duplication. Drops the newsletter form and the credentials, which is a real loss: both would need a home elsewhere on the page.

6Full sitemap Stretch

Mirrors the mega menu: every practice area, business function and industry, exposed as crawlable text. The industry names exist on the live site only inside images, so today they are invisible to search and to AI answer engines — this option fixes that. Densest of the six.
