Shadcn footers for SaaS
SaaS footers should be fat — six to ten columns, 50+ internal links, sectioned by Product, Company, Resources, Legal, Compliance. The visible signal is professionalism; the SEO signal is internal linking equity. Visitors who reach the footer are usually doing one of three things: looking for terms-of-service, checking compliance certifications, or hunting for the changelog. All three should be one click away from any page on the site.

Why this differs for saas
The under-used SaaS-footer surface is compliance: SOC 2 Type II badge, GDPR statement, ISO 27001 if you have it. These aren't decorative — they're how procurement teams qualify you in their initial scan. A visible compliance row in the footer cuts down 'do you have SOC 2' email volume by half and signals enterprise-readiness without anyone having to ask.

Frequently asked questions
What columns should a SaaS footer have?
Four to six: Product (features, pricing, integrations, changelog), Company (about, careers, blog, press), Resources (docs, API, status, customer stories), Legal (terms, privacy, security, DPA). Add a fifth Compliance column if you have certifications worth listing. Don't ship a 'Social' column — link socials with icons in the footer bottom row, not as a separate column where they look isolated and undersized.
Should the footer show server status?
Yes — a colored dot ('● All systems operational' / '● Degraded performance') linking to status.yourcompany.com. This is one of the highest-trust signals you can put in a footer for a developer-tool SaaS. It says 'we know things break, we're transparent about it, we're not hiding'. The dot turns red during incidents, which is fine — incident transparency increases trust more than incident-hiding ever does.
Where should the cookie banner controls go?
Footer should have a 'Cookie preferences' link that re-opens the banner. Don't make the banner one-shot at first visit — visitors who accidentally accepted everything need a way to revisit, and EU compliance increasingly requires it. The link sits in the Legal column or in the bottom row with copyright and language toggles. Hide the cookie controls deeper than the footer and you're inviting GDPR complaints.
