Footer With Pixel Grid Wordmark

Built for a documentation site, where the footer is not decoration but a second navigation people genuinely use after the sidebar has failed them. Four columns of links, policy row, subscribe field, and beneath all of it a wordmark drawn as a grid of pixels whose gradient chases the cursor across it.

The ordering is the design decision worth noticing. Every functional element sits above the toy, so the pixel grid never stands between a reader and the page they came for; it is a reward for scrolling past what you needed, not a toll on the way to it. Choose it when your docs have four real sections to list. On a marketing site with six pages the columns will be mostly air and the wordmark will be doing all the work.
