99.9% of sites need to comply with a few legal elements and / or have a link to disclaimers. They are usually known as Footer Links:

There, you'll be able to link an article or a static page so your footer links will be, well, outlinking to the proper information.

If you want your Footer links to be articles: you should click on 'Add Post' in the hamburger menu and add a piece of content like you would normally to populate the site.
Then you can just paste the link on the Footer item that needs it:

If you want your Footer links to be Static Pages: you need to create that page and then link it.
Static Pages have many advantages:
- You have the ability to fully customize the layout for a particular Footer link.
For example: Terms of Use can have a 100% different template from About or Contact.
- You can update that layout anytime you want.
- You can A/B test different layouts to see which one you like best. Click here for more information on how to do that.
To create a Static Page, click on the "+ Create Page" at the bottom of the menu of the Layout & Design tool:
[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Fmedia.forumbee.com%2Fi%2Fd9d076a8-c608-4056-9e19-dead553aa728%2F547.png&ho=https%3A%2F%2Fs3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com&s=117&h=285869bdf0081604531d72d70a9357d21511c394a11ca31c9c858b47cda8e5e5&size=980x&c=177126378 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Fmedia.forumbee.com%252Fi%252Fd9d076a8-c608-4056-9e19-dead553aa728%252F547.png%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fs3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com%26s%3D117%26h%3D285869bdf0081604531d72d70a9357d21511c394a11ca31c9c858b47cda8e5e5%26size%3D980x%26c%3D177126378%22%7D" caption="" pin_description="" image-library="0" expand=1 photo_credit=""]
