Improvements to the footer component #1680

Open 36degrees opened 4 years ago

36degrees commented 4 years ago

The footer has a number of (~minor) layout issues that are hard to address without making changes to the markup. It also has a number of hardcoded English strings which we should address, aligning with supporting multiple languages.

Some of these fixes will involve making breaking changes.

We should also review the backlog entry for the Footer component to see if there are any other outstanding issues we should be looking to address.

The new version of the Axe Review accessibility tool has highlighted a potential issue suggesting the ‘Crown copyright’ logo in the footer must have sufficient colour contrast. The failure is actually the logo and the colour of text passed and thought it should be noted.
