Sedo Footer
Proposals

3-section masthead layout, 5 columns, newsletter band — authority through typography and structured information density.

• Masthead-style header row with brand name set in editorial serif — instant credibility
• 5-column link taxonomy mirrors a newspaper's section structure
• Full-width newsletter band between main body and legal strip

Navy newsletter band with "Stay ahead." headline, then a clean white 4-column link grid with stats strip — color entry, clean navigation.

• #1E3154 newsletter band — bold, unmistakably Sedo
• White link section with #1E3154 column labels and hover accent
• Stats strip with lead number in brand primary — 24M+, 3M+, 700K+, 60%

7-column full site directory — enterprise-grade navigation that surfaces every product and resource without a sitemap.

• 7 labelled columns covering Buyer, Seller, Broker, Resources, Company, Legal, and Locales
• Featured resource card with thumbnail drives content discovery
• Trust-bar row: escrow badge, domain count, and partner logos above legal strip

Email acquisition as the primary CTA — the footer becomes the highest-converting email capture surface on the site.

• 60% of above-fold footer space devoted to newsletter headline + inline email form
• Social proof snippet ("Join 120k+ domain investors") directly adjacent to input
• Secondary nav reduced to 2-row list to keep focus on conversion

BUY left (solid blue), SELL right (white), logo bridge center — visually encodes Sedo's marketplace duality into the closing frame.

• Vertical center divider with sedo.com logo straddles both audience tracks
• Left panel: solid #1E3154 with white pill CTAs for buyers
• Right panel: clean white with bordered cards for sellers

Massive SEDO watermark wordmark — the brand name becomes the furniture; every visitor leaves with it memorized.

• SEDO logotype set at 18vw — occupies full footer width as textural background
• Minimal 3-item utility link row floats above watermark at 12px — contrast by scale
• Near-black fill creates luxury editorial palette distinct from site body
