How can I modify the footer size and layout in the Dawn theme?

Topic summary

Footer customization in Shopify’s Dawn theme: enlarge menu header text and reposition the newsletter signup to the top-right, creating three aligned columns with social icons centered beneath. Screenshots are provided and the site URL was shared with the password removed.

Latest update: a responder confirms the requests are feasible but will require code changes in the theme (likely CSS for font sizing and layout, and Liquid/HTML adjustments for column structure and element placement).

Notes on terminology: Dawn is Shopify’s default theme; CSS controls styling (e.g., font size), and Liquid/HTML define layout and content structure.

Access issue: the site currently shows an “under maintenance” message to the responder, preventing review of the live footer.

Outcome and next steps: no specific code or steps were provided yet. The thread remains open, pending site access and implementation details. Attachments (screenshots) are central to understanding the desired layout.

Hi Community,

I’m seeking some help regarding my footer built with dawn theme.

I have attached screen shots for what I am aiming for:

  1. The menu header size is really small, how to I enlarge this?

  2. Is it possible to move the newsletter sign up to the top right so there is 3 columns all in line with the social icons centered underneath.

Website URL is www.bookyourlook.com.au and i have removed the password.

Thanks in advance!!

@designbymeg - it is possible , needs change in coding

I am getting message that this site is under maintenance, hence could not see it
