Is it better to keep the footer at the bottom on pages with minimal content?

    Hello,
    This issue only occurs on pages where there isn't enough content to fill the screen. Since I'm using a grid layout, I can fix it so the footer is always at the bottom. In your opinion, which looks better: having the footer fixed at the bottom of the page (picture A) or right after the content with a gap between it and the bottom of the browser window (picture B)?

    In my opinion, having the footer fixed at the bottom of the page (like in picture A) looks better. It gives the page a more polished and professional appearance. When the footer is always at the bottom, it helps maintain a clean layout, even if the content is short. This way, users can easily see that they've reached the end of the page without any confusion.

    Thank you very much. I appreciate your suggestion. I had the same thought, but I wanted to ask just to be sure.
