In pkgdown: Make Static HTML Documentation for a Package

You can customise the footer with the footer field. It's made up of two pieces: structure, which defines the overall layout, and components, which defines what each piece looks like. This organisation makes it easy to mix and match the pkgdown defaults with your own customisations.

This is the default structure:

footer:
  structure: 
    left: developed_by
    right: built_with

Which uses two of the three built-in components:

• developed_by, a sentence describing the main authors of the package. (See ?build_home if you want to tweak which authors appear in the footer.)
• built_with, a sentence advertising pkgdown.
• package, the name of the package.

You can override these defaults with the footer field. The example below puts the authors' information on the right along with a legal disclaimer, and puts the pkgdown link on the left.

footer:
  structure: 
    left: pkgdown
    right: [authors, legal]
  components:
    legal: Provided without **any warranty**.

Each side is pasted into a single string (separated by " ") and then converted from markdown to HTML.
