What makes a good footer section on a portfolio website

Footers are the site map: grouped links, legal, social and often a final signup, in a quiet, well-aligned grid. Personal portfolios stay minimal so the work leads — a short intro, a project grid and one way to get in touch. Compare these examples with footer sections from every industry, or see the full homepages on the portfolio website templates page.

What these 23 footer sections have in common

On average each one carries 8.0 images or icons, 0.8 buttons and 23.0 links, plus 1.0 form fields. 30% sit on a dark background, and 39% are taller than half their width — most are compact bands rather than full screens.
