Motivation:

It's good UX to include the main navigation links in the footer as well. For reference, see this article on "Doormat Navigation".

Modifications:

  • Adds the main navigation links to the footer
    • I vertically centered the navigation titles (Tools, Community, Governance) with the Swift logo on desktop to make this look as balanced as possible
    • ❓ I'm wondering if we maybe need a bit more margin between the logo and the links on desktop
  • Restructures the code slightly to allow for this — feel free to suggest improvements here!

Result:

I think what @alexandersandberg has done here is right—if you’re viewing the footer links you should see all the main site nav (which is technically redundant with the top nav but in practice people look at one or the other)
