Improve Footer Social Icons and Link Hover Interactions for Better UX #1320

Description

Description:

Problem

The current footer hover interactions create an inconsistent user experience.

Social media icons appear to shrink and shift position on hover, resulting in a shaky/jittery effect.
Icons move horizontally, causing slight layout movement and reducing visual stability.
Footer links only translate slightly to the left on hover, which provides minimal visual feedback and feels abrupt.
The existing hover animations do not align with modern UI/UX micro-interaction practices.

Expected Behaviour

Social icons should maintain their size and position stability while providing smooth visual feedback.
Hover effects can include subtle lift, scale-up, glow, or shadow effects without causing layout shifts.
Footer links should use more intuitive interactions such as animated underlines, color transitions, or subtle elevation effects.
Animations should feel smooth, polished, and consistent across the footer section.

Proposed Solution

Replace shrinking/shaking effects on social icons with subtle hover elevation and glow effects.
Prevent horizontal movement that causes visual instability.
Add animated underline or smooth color transitions for footer links.
Ensure all hover effects use consistent transition timing and easing.

Benefits

Improved visual consistency and professionalism.
Better user experience through stable micro-interactions.
Enhanced accessibility and usability.
Modernized footer design that aligns with current UI standards,.
