Creating a sticky footer that stays at the bottom of the page in CSS can be achieved using a combination of Flexbox or Grid layout and CSS positioning. Here's a basic example using Flexbox:

html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
  <title>Sticky Footer</title>
  <style>
    html, body {
      height: 100%;
      margin: 0;
    }

    body {
      display: flex;
      flex-direction: column;
    }

    .content {
      flex: 1;
      /* Add your main content styles here */
    }

    .footer {
      background-color: #333;
      color: #fff;
      padding: 10px;
      text-align: center;
      /* Sticky footer styles */
      position: sticky;
      bottom: 0;
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <div class="content">
    <!-- Your main content goes here -->
    <p>This is your main content.</p>
  </div>
  <div class="footer">
    <!-- Footer content goes here -->
    <p>This is the sticky footer.</p>
  </div>
</body>
</html>

In this example:

  1. The html and body elements are set to a height of 100% to ensure that the container takes up the full height of the viewport.
  2. The body is set to a flex container with a column direction, allowing the content to flexibly take up available space.
  3. The .content div has flex: 1, which means it will take up the available space and push the footer to the bottom.
  4. The .footer div is styled with a background color, padding, and positioned as sticky with bottom: 0, ensuring it sticks to the bottom of the viewport when the content is not tall enough.

Adjust the styles and content to fit your specific needs.
