103-110: Consider reducing animation complexity for accessibilityThe animated dots with staggered delays might be distracting for users with attention disorders or those sensitive to motion. Consider adding a reduced motion check.
Apply this diff to respect user's motion preferences:
{[...Array(3)].map((_, i) => ( <div key={i} - className="w-1 h-1 rounded-full bg-blue-500 animate-pulse" + className="w-1 h-1 rounded-full bg-blue-500 motion-safe:animate-pulse" style={{ animationDelay: `${i * 0.2}s` }} ></div> ))}
115-116: Remove or reduce decorative animations for better performanceThe floating animated elements don't add functional value and may impact performance on lower-end devices. Consider removing them or making them static.
Consider removing these purely decorative animated elements:
- {/* Floating elements */} - <div className="absolute top-4 right-4 w-2 h-2 rounded-full bg-blue-400/30 animate-ping"></div> - <div className="absolute bottom-4 left-4 w-1 h-1 rounded-full bg-purple-400/40 animate-pulse"></div>Or if you want to keep them, make them respect motion preferences:
- <div className="absolute top-4 right-4 w-2 h-2 rounded-full bg-blue-400/30 animate-ping"></div> - <div className="absolute bottom-4 left-4 w-1 h-1 rounded-full bg-purple-400/40 animate-pulse"></div> + <div className="absolute top-4 right-4 w-2 h-2 rounded-full bg-blue-400/30 motion-safe:animate-ping"></div> + <div className="absolute bottom-4 left-4 w-1 h-1 rounded-full bg-purple-400/40 motion-safe:animate-pulse"></div>
94-94: Remove bouncing animation from copyright symbolThe bouncing copyright symbol is unnecessary and might be perceived as unprofessional. Static text would be more appropriate for legal notices.

6-121: Excellent implementation of footer redesign objectivesThe new footer successfully addresses all the requirements from issue #188:
- Modern gradient backgrounds and hover effects create an attractive, professional look
- Typography hierarchy with proper font weights and sizes improves readability
- Color palette aligns well with the theme using gradient text and backgrounds
- Grid layout with proper spacing creates clean organization
- Social/GitHub links included in Brand and Connect sections
- Responsive grid (grid-cols-1 to md:grid-cols-[1.5fr_1fr_1fr]) ensures mobile compatibility
- Visual separation achieved through borders, gradient dividers, and section spacing
The component maintains its export signature and integrates seamlessly with the existing layout.

Fix broken internal navigation links
The Quick Links section uses regular anchor tags (<a href="/about">, <a href="/contact">) for internal navigation, which will cause full page reloads in a React Router application. Based on the App.tsx file showing React Router is in use, these should be using React Router's Link component for client-side navigation.
Apply this diff to fix the navigation:

In src/components/Footer.tsx around lines 44 to 59, the Quick Links currently
render internal anchors which trigger full page reloads; replace the <a> tags
with React Router's Link component (use the "to" prop instead of "href"), keep
the same className, child icon and span structure, and preserve key={index};
also add an import for Link from "react-router-dom" at the top of the file (or
extend the existing import) so the component uses client-side navigation.

@Vidhi-Ajmera16355 : padding and margin looks big. Please reduce it. |

34-38: Clarify scope of “Connect/Social” vs Issue #188 objective.The linked issue asks to include social icons, but a reviewer requested removing the “connect” section. Confirm product decision: omit socials for minimalism, or re-introduce a compact, unobtrusive social row under the brand block.
If you opt to re-introduce socials, I can provide a minimal Tailwind snippet (GitHub/Twitter/LinkedIn) aligned with your spacing constraints. Do you want me to generate it?

In src/components/Footer.tsx around lines 7 to 8, the decorative gradient
overlay should be made non-interactive and hidden from assistive tech: add
aria-hidden="true" and role="presentation" to the overlay div, ensure it cannot
receive pointer events by adding the Tailwind class pointer-events-none, and
make it unfocusable by setting tabIndex={-1}; keep it purely decorative with no
meaningful DOM change otherwise.

In src/components/Footer.tsx around lines 10 to 12, the footer vertical spacing
is too large; reduce padding and grid gap to tighten the vertical rhythm: change
the container padding from px-4 py-6 md:py-8 to something smaller (for example
px-4 py-4 md:py-6) and reduce the grid gap from gap-8 mb-6 to gap-6 mb-4 so the
footer keeps clarity but with less vertical whitespace.

In src/components/Footer.tsx around lines 21 to 27, the external anchor lacks
focus-visible styles making it hard to navigate by keyboard; add keyboard-focus
styles to the anchor (e.g., focus:outline-none plus focus-visible:ring-2,
focus-visible:ring-offset-2, a visible ring color that works in both light/dark
like focus-visible:ring-blue-500 and dark:focus-visible:ring-blue-400, and an
appropriate focus-visible:rounded class) so keyboard users see a clear focus
indicator while preserving existing hover styles.
