Correct answer osgood_

just add margin: 0; to the body css:

body{
background-color: #F7B331;
margin: 0;
}

You have a few errors in your css that may effect the layout:

1) You have an additional closing } after the 'body' css selector.

2) You have an additional closing } after the '.row:after' css selector.

3 There is a colon : missing from the padding stying in the 'footer' css selector.

Bootstrap 4: Footer is always at screen bottom on short pages.

By @Nancy OShea

Good spot. I didnt understand the bit of the post which requires the footer to always be at the foot of the page BUT as the OP is not using Bootstrap your answer doesnt really address their issue so I will attempt to BUT track record on getting this OP to understand is minimal, but Ill give it a shot.

Wrap ALL of your pages code in a <div></div> container and give it the class name of 'pageWrapper'

ALL code from 'header' to and including 'footer' goes here.

</div>

Then wrap all the 'header' code down to and including the last 'column' code in another <div></div> and give it the class name of 'topSection'

ALL 'header' code down to and including the last 'column' code goes here

</div>

Then add the below css to your css styles:

.pageWrapper {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
height: 100vh;
}
.topSection {
flex: 1;
}

That will then keep the footer at the base of the browser window for pages which have a short amount of content.

The OP previously said he would abandon the outdated commercial template he was using and start over with a Bootstrap layout. Evidently he forgot! So this is a gentle REMINDER of what Bootstrap can do. 😁

This layout also addresses his question in another topic about having Logo on same row as Navigation.
That's a win, win in my book. 😇

By @Nancy OShea

As I said in my other post 'minimal' chance..............maybe they thought Bootstrap was too complex. No one needs Bootstrap, this stuff is what a 3 year old could do if only they would attempt it rather than thinking they cant do it without the aid of a pair of calipers.

Maybe you can with years of previous coding experience. But most beginners can't do much without a starter template.

In this space, the path of least resistance is usually preferred.
