In our second web design video blog, Nick and I talk about headers and footers in website design. Firstly, we analysis common elements that are used in the header and footer areas, then we move on to explain how best to utilise these regions for good website usability, and optimisation.
If anybody has any questions or advice that they would like to add to this, please write a comment below.

Niiice video blog, very slick!
Plus I’m jealous of your pink chairs, which would go with my branding a treat in my new office
Would be nice if you the CleareGroup logo behind you in the video, so that if the video becomes distributed, it’s immediately clear where it’s from.
I’d imagine Google will be quite pleased with these new HTML tags. As well as it being easier for them to discern how important certain parts of the pages are it will allow them to more effectively diminish the value of external links in footers.
David, a very good point about the HTML 5
We Designers will have to consider where to put their link back to our site!
You mentioned the “php echo date” which is a top tip, absolutely superb.
Could you give me more info on this. Maybe a future video blog would be good.
How does this get inserted within the page? Would the page/site have to be a php page for it to work?
cheers
Hi Carl, simply save your web pages with the .php extension. Providing your webhosting supports PHP, you can treat the page exactly the same as HTML but you then have the option to use PHP.
Simply download the following file from our downloads page:

Then choose which date format you would like to use on your website.
