columns puts the mark, name and tagline on the left and two vertical lists on the right, “Site info” and “Sister parenting sites”. A thin line then separates the notices, design credit and copyright. compact puts the name and links on one line and the sister sites on the next, so the whole footer is much shorter. The notice text is identical in both.
Pick columns when there are many links and several sister sites; pick compact when there are only a few links. In practice seven sites use compact. On screen the text is small and light, so the bold black column headings and the first line of the notice are the only emphasis.
A light gray footer background made the pale text hard to read (4.32:1 contrast), so the pack uses white plus a border instead.
