Code Explanation

HTML Code

Wrapper Container (<div class="footer">):
<div class="footer">
  • This <div> element serves as a container for the footer content.
  • class="footer" assigns the CSS class "footer" to this container, allowing for specific styling using CSS.
Logo Image (<img src="...">):
<img src="https://www.frontendcomponent.com/favicon.ico" alt="Logo">
  • The <img> tag is used to display an image.
  • src="https://www.frontendcomponent.com/favicon.ico" specifies the URL of the image to be displayed.
  • alt="Logo" provides alternative text for the image, which is important for accessibility and for display if the image cannot be loaded.
Copyright Notice (<p>):
<p>Copyright © 2024. All rights reserved.</p>
  • The <p> tag defines a paragraph.
  • Contains the text "Copyright © 2024. All rights reserved." indicating the copyright information for the website or content.
Navigation Links (<a href="#">):
<a href="#">Home</a>
<a href="#">About Us</a>
<a href="#">Services</a>
<a href="#">Contact</a>
  • Each <a> tag creates a hyperlink.
  • href="#" is a placeholder link that currently points to the top of the page. In a real application, these would link to the respective sections or pages.
  • The text between the opening and closing <a> tags specifies the link's label:
    • "Home"
    • "About Us"
    • "Services"
    • "Contact"
