# Footer marquee words > Three rows of display type running across the foot of the page on your contrast colour, dealt from eighteen short phrases with a drawn mark between them and no plate behind anything, so the words are the whole of the band. The top row runs rightwards and the two below it oppose in turn; the pointer runs them back at the left of the frame, holds them still in the middle and drives them at three times their speed on the right, and any row can be tapped or focused and held. Needs the companion plugin, which comes with your access; without it, or without motion, the eighteen phrases are a plain stack above the sign-off. States no colour and no font of its own. Canonical: https://patternpaste.com/pattern/footer-marquee-words.html Section: Footer Access: Included in Pattern Paste access. Needs: Requires a block theme on WordPress 6.7 to 7.0. Classic themes and page builders are outside our supported setup. Adaptive patterns use the block theme’s colour, spacing and typography presets; styled variations declare their own colours or type. Also needs: Install the Pattern Paste plugin first, then paste. This section embeds one of its blocks: the plugin comes with your access, downloads from your account, and takes a minute. Paste without it and the section arrives as a plain stack of your headings, text and images, with none of the motion. Blocks: group, heading, paragraph, patternpaste/marquee Keywords: footer, marquee, ticker, words, type, band, rows, pointer Promise: This variation embeds one of our blocks: install the companion plugin, then paste. --- ## The signature moment: the last thing on the page will not sit still A footer is usually where a page gives up. This one restates what you stand for in eighteen short phrases, set as type at three and a half per cent of the viewport, on your ink rather than your ground, with a drawn mark between one phrase and the next. The top row runs rightwards, the two below it oppose in turn, and the whole band answers the pointer: back at the left, still in the middle, three times the speed at the right. Any row can be tapped, or focused and held with Enter, which is what a phone gets instead of a pointer. Three rows of opposed type is the densest thing the block makes, and the footer is where density is affordable: there is nothing below it to compete with. ## Why this is not footer-strip or footer-signoff Those two are navigation: a name, some links, a copyright line, under a rule. This one carries no links at all. It is the band you put ABOVE one of them when the page needs a closing statement rather than a site map, and it should never be the only footer on a page: put it above `footer-strip` and let that carry the links. ## What it inherits from your theme The face, the weights and both colours. The section is painted with your `contrast` as its ground and your `base` as its ink, which is the reverse of the page above it, and every word takes your theme's own display face at whatever size your preset scale settles on inside the clamp. The mark between the phrases is **drawn**, not a character, so it is the same mark on every device and states no font. ## What it decides for itself Three rows, dealt round-robin from eighteen phrases, at 1.2 times the block's own speed. No plates: the words are the whole of the band, so there is nothing behind them to compete. Each row is 72px and the gap is 24px, so the band is 264px: it is always exactly its rows, which is the only thing it could be once the row height is the one number that decides a row. The reach is 3, higher than the other two marquees, because there is nothing to read carefully here: the phrases are short, the reader is at the end of the page, and the band is worth playing with. ## What needs the plugin The running, the pointer control and the press-to-hold. With the plugin inactive, or with motion off in the block's inspector, the eighteen phrases are a plain stack of headings above the sign-off, still on the reversed colours and still legible. A reader who asks for reduced motion always gets that. ## What you change first 1. **The phrases.** Eighteen items, each an `h3`. They are short on purpose: a sentence in a row that is moving is a sentence nobody finishes. 2. **The sign-off** below the block, which is a sibling and not part of it, so it sits below the frame where it can be read and clicked. 3. **Rows**, if three is too much band for your page. Two is calmer; one is a different pattern. 4. **Speed and Reach.** 1.2 and 3 are the loud end of what the block does. 5. **A mark between items** off, if the dots are too much punctuation for your phrases. 6. **The heading level**, if an `h3` in the footer upsets your page's heading order. The words are headings so a screen reader can list them.
