I kept putting my padding on the body, but a separate top-push (aka .proper-content) works perfectly. Thank you! 😄

Hey there, any chance you can point me in the right direction for making the footer background-color extend 100% of the viewport?

.footer-wrapper {
    position: relative;
    height: 50px;
    width: 100%; /* Add this line for full width */
    background-color: #000; /* ofc you need the color */
}

Thanks to @jerimianhshort for the help.
