Here i show you in a couple of steps how to make the footer on this site look nicer, while actually doing it.

Here is what the footer currently looks like.

Yep pretty average looking.

Lets add a wrapper to it, that covers the full width of the page. 

This is the section of code that the footer sits in, we need to cover this in another container that will span full width so we can add a background colour to it.

Then add some css to make it darker and the colours lighter.

This css will add a background to the footer and some padding on the top and bottom.

This is how it should look now.

Then change the link color to #eee as well and see how it looks.

Not amazing, but better.
