I just finished building a fake site but I am having the issue that the content on some of the pages is too little so there is a large white space under the footer. I have tried changing the "bottom" to 0, margin bottom to zero and I can't seem to fix it.
Any ideas? The link is below for the page as well as the git repo

229,732 PointsMy browser devtools show the footer inside a div that has a 50px bottom margin, which would explain the space but I'm not seeing it like that in the source. Very odd!
But I did notice in the source that the "<!DOCTYPE html>" declaration is missing the exclamation point. Try fixing that and see if it helps.
