# Adding a Footer to Web Pages

You can configure the Web server to automatically insert an HTML-formatted file to the bottom of every Web page sent out by your Web server (appending footers to ASP pages is not supported). For example, your file can contain HTML formatting instructions to add a simple text message and logo image to your Web pages. For more information, see About Web Site Management and Server-Side Includes.

Note Document footers can reduce Web server performance, especially if a Web page is frequently accessed.

###### To add a footer to every Web page

1. Create an HTML footer file and save it on your Web server's hard disk.

   Note The footer file should be not be a complete HTML document. It should contain only those HTML tags necessary for formatting the appearance of footer content. For example, a footer file that adds your organization's name to the bottom of every Web page should consist of text and the HTML tags necessary for formatting the text's font and color.

2. In the IIS snap-in, select a Web site, directory, or file and open its property sheets.
3. Click the Documents tab, and select the Enable Document Footer check box.
4. In the text box, either type the full local path to the footer file, or use the Browse button to navigate to it.
