Designing a  website is the most challenging thing for a person who has the responsibility to do so. Each and every component plays an important role in the creation of a website. The main three components are
1. Header
2. Body
3. Footer
These three components play a huge role in making a website look worth it. Now I will let you know about all of the above things how to make them appropriate and correct the mistakes if any-

Header

A header is the first thing that one will see while visiting the website, you should definitely make it easy to operate and understandable for users. The things that are essential to include in a header are as follows-
1. Logo / Identity
2. Navigation (Main Menu)
3. Page Title
4. Search
5. Shopping Cart (E-commerce Site)
6. Login / Logout
7. User Profile Link
8. Notifications (if applicable)

Body
The body is the big area in the center of the website, that contains the useful content of the website. This is the area which you will use to provide the maximum possible information to your user. Good and interactive information is really necessary to put. Here are the things that you can include in the body of your website-
1. Always try to add some value rather than praising/favoring information.
2. Try to write simple, short sentences.
3. You should always know your audience and keep the content as per their expectations.
4. Add Images to your content.

Footer
A footer is at the bottom of the page. It contains useful information like fine print, copyright notices, quick access links and/or contact information. Just like the header, it contains important information. The important things you can include in the footer of your website are as follows-
1. A call to action (CTA)
2. A contact form
3. Images
4. Popular Posts and Articles
5. Newsletter Signups
6. Contact Details
7. Links to Social Profiles.

These are some useful websites and specially footer design tips that you can definitely consider while starting any website or taking any project. It will definitely clear your doubts and confusions
