Site Footer Contact Information

You can customize the contact information that appears in the footer of your website. At a minimum, all websites are required to have a name that is linked and at least one form of contact—either a phone number or email address. This is only available in the _props.pcf file within the root folder for your site or the folder where navigation is restarted.
