Footer Reveal Effect

What You'll Create

A footer that appears to be revealed from behind the main content as visitors scroll to the bottom of the page. The last footer section stays fixed while content scrolls over it, creating a dramatic reveal effect.

The Problem It Solves

Standard footers simply appear at the end of content. This technique creates visual interest by making the footer feel like it's been there all along, hidden beneath the page content - a sophisticated transition that adds polish to the browsing experience.

Perfect For

Creative portfolios, Agency websites, Brand landing pages, Any site wanting memorable endings, Single-page sites.

What Makes This Different

CSS position:sticky on the footer combined with z-index layering creates the illusion that page sections are scrolling over a fixed footer beneath. The technique only applies to the bottom-most section, ensuring other footer sections behave normally. Transform properties ensure smooth rendering.
