Spacers, image blocks, fixed height, and min-height values. Those are just a couple of workarounds that help a little bit when trying to create 3 equal-height columns inside a client’s site. However, there’s a better way…

We’ve tackled footer customizations before but, this time, we’ll be looking at how to create a lovely vertically-aligned column layout in Brine, that includes the actual Footer nav vs manual links!

I know you’re here to find out how to FINALLY achieve this customization because although you may have found a way to add a background color to your blog page items, it’s been tricky trying to make them have the same height, without manually setting one that only works if you don’t reduce your screen size.

In today’s tutorial, we’ll be looking at how to add a background color to those Summary Blocks with summary excerpts you have hanging around your site… AND how to make sure the colored portions have THE SAME HEIGHT. Oooh, intriguing right?

Let’s face it, the footer is the part of our Squarespace design we think about last when it comes to adding customizations. However, that doesn’t mean we can’t show it some love and have it help our site look more custom by giving it a non-default style!
