The Global Footer Navigation is the final section on all pages of all Emerson websites. It allows visitors to navigate to key sections of the site or to external sites such as blogs and social media channels. It also reinforces the Emerson tagline, “Go Boldly.™” This component is for reference only. In order to create a complete G007, authors must utilize the G008 and G009 components.
The footer is comprised of link groupings with featured links, social media links, and a secondary list of links to pages that are often legally required.
Link Groupings with Featured Links: Because the site can have many different content types and sections, it’s important to group links to help organize them. This grouping helps visitors quickly scan lists of primary links in order to make a decision.
Social Media Links: Upon selecting from a row of social media icons, the visitor will navigate to the specific social media channel.
Secondary Links: Privacy Notice, Cookies, Terms of Use, Data Protection, Imprint, Sitemap, and Communication Preferences links are examples of secondary links that appear at the bottom of the footer.
Promotional Space: This section in the bottom right of the footer can be used to place an image for a marketing promotion or message.
CTAs navigate to internal pages within the same browser window/tab or external links within a new browser window/tab.
