How to Properly Place Your Contact Information at the Bottom of Your Web Page

When creating a webpage, it’s common to want your contact information easily accessible. Placing this information at the bottom of your page is an effective way to ensure that visitors can find ways to reach you. However, you may encounter some issues, such as overlapping text when you use incorrect positioning styles in your HTML. In this post, we’ll explore how to resolve these issues and properly style your contact information.

The Problem: Overlapping Text

You might have tried to fix your contact information at the bottom of the page using CSS properties. If your content is overlapping, as shown in the following scenario, don’t worry—you’re not alone! This is a common problem that arises when using position: fixed incorrectly.

Your Example Scenario

Here’s a look at your original code snippet:

Here, all your paragraphs and headers are given the same position: fixed;, which causes them to overlap and cover one another at the bottom of the viewport.

The Solution: Correct Positioning

To solve the overlapping issue, you need to set your container's position to fixed instead of each separate text element. It is important to remember that the fixed position is relative to the viewport and keeps the element in view even when scrolling.

Step-by-Step Correction

Here’s how to properly arrange your HTML and CSS:

Remove the position: fixed from individual child elements like paragraphs and headers.

Apply position: fixed to the outer container only.

Adjust the inner elements so that they are styled properly within the fixed container.

Updated Code Example

With these adjustments, your HTML would look like this:

Additional Considerations

Background Color: Ensure that the background of your website complements the text color to enhance readability. You might set the body background as follows:

Text Color: Since the contact information is white, it’s also important to ensure that the background color contrasts well (for example, using a black background for the body).

Conclusion

By placing your Contact Information in a single fixed container at the bottom of the page and correctly styling its contents, you prevent overlapping issues and improve the visibility of your contact details. Following the steps outlined above will result in a clean, organized, and accessible section at the bottom of your webpage.
