# Setting up the footer

websites or platforms you or your company are using as additional marketing
channels, e.g. :fontawesome-brands-medium:{ style="color: #00AB6C" },
:fontawesome-brands-twitter:{ style="color: #1DA1F2" } or
:fontawesome-brands-facebook:{ style="color: #4267B2" }, which can be
configured via `mkdocs.yml`.
