* Button
*

Usage
Ends the page with an invitation rather than a sitemap. The link row is short on purpose: an early-stage site with fourteen footer links is describing a company that does not exist yet.
- One action in the panel. The footer is the last chance, not a menu.
- The tinted panel uses the accent-soft trio, so it re-tints with the palette.
Variants and states
Every entry below is a genuine difference in behaviour or layout, and every one of them is visible in the preview above.
- Tinted CTA panel
- Short link row
Accessibility
- Heading level
- The CTA heading is an `h2`, keeping the footer outline flat and predictable.
- Contrast in the tinted panel
- The panel uses the accent-soft trio, so its text keeps contrast when the palette changes.
Foundry implements published ARIA patterns and is tested against them. No WCAG certification is claimed — see the accessibility documentation for what is and is not covered.
