So in this lecture, what we want to do, as I just said at the end of the last lecture, is to make
sure that our customers can find those policies that we just created, and to do that, we're going
to add them to the menu.
Now you will remember several lectures ago now that I showed you how to create a menu.
And at that point we added the Contact Us page to the top menu.
Now we could add both policies to the top menu as well, but from the point of view of design, it's
actually better to add them into a menu at the bottom of our store.
And the reason for that is because while they are important, our visitors don't need to access them
all the time, so putting them into a footer menu is absolutely perfect.
So here I am, of course on my home page, and if I scroll down here to the bottom, you can see at
the moment that we don't have any footer menu at all.
So let me show you how to add one.
So going back to admin we go to the online store and navigation.
Now the last time we did this we looked at the main menu where we added contact to both home and catalog.
But this time we're going to go to the footer menu.
So click on footer menu.
And if there are any menu items simply delete them.
So I shall delete this search remove and then add a menu item.
I will give it a name, which of course is the Privacy policy.
And then I shall click into this box.
And now I'm looking for this policies I click on policies.
And I select the privacy policy that we created in the last lecture.
So selecting that I can then add it and then I can add another menu item which I shall call the Terms
of service.
I could also call it the Terms and conditions.
It's basically the same thing.
Then click once again into this box.
Go down to policies and select the Terms of Service.
Click on add and then save the menu.
Now although we've created that menu, if I go back to the site and refresh, the menu is still nowhere
to be seen.
So how do we make it visible?
Well, this time we need to go to the theme editor.
So of course back to admin.
This time go over to themes, click on customize and then scroll right to the bottom where you see the
footer and open up this little footer menu.
To reveal this add block, click on Add Block and now select menu.
And you can see straight away on the right hand side here that both the privacy policy and the Terms
of service have now been added.
So now we can save all of our hard work, go back to the site and refresh once again.
And this time here is the footer menu.
And if I click on the privacy policy it takes me to the Privacy policy.
Going back, if I then click on the Terms of service, of course it shows me the terms of service.
Now with that said, if I go back once again, there are a couple of things that I don't like.
First of all, I don't like this quick links title.
It's basically unnecessary and in my opinion simply clutters up the site.
So I want to remove that.
And then the other thing that I'd like to remove is this subscribe to our emails and then the email
box below.
Now at this point you might be thinking, well, surely that's a great way to collect emails.
And to be honest, when I was teaching e-commerce ten years ago, we would always collect emails in
this way and we would always create newsletters.
But these days, there are far more effective methods to collect emails that don't require you to create
lengthy weekly or monthly newsletters.
And of course, I'm going to be showing you those methods later on in the course.
So in summary, I would like to remove it.
And so starting with the quick links, let's go back to admin and come down here where it says Quick
Links.
Click on it.
And you can see here that I've got a heading which is Quick links.
So all I need to do is delete that text.
And as you can see over here in the editor it has now disappeared.
And then for the subscribe to our emails and the email box, let's go back.
And this time click directly on the footer where you'll see another heading which is subscribe to our
emails.
So let's remove that and then you see this checkbox above.
Show email sign up.
And if I uncheck this it all disappears leaving only the privacy policy and the Terms of service in
my footer menu.
A really nice clean footer design that allows my customers to find my privacy policy and my terms of
service very easily.
So as a final check, let's of course click on save.
We will go back to the site and refresh and everything looks perfect.
