anyone know how to create a skewed footer?

I'm trying to make a skewed footer but when I rotate it there is always white space that I need to get rid of. I tried adding bottom padding but all that does is push the page down further.

Maybe you could hide the white space through negative margin values, or make a triangle above your regular footer to make it appear skewed?

Hi Don-Alex,

If you're trying to skew the footer (and without knowing what your code looks like), I would suggest using the transform property, and using the skew, skewX or skewY CSS functions to skew it the degree that you want.

Hope this helps.
