Looks like the </body> tag is before the <footer> in the "view source".

</body><div class="footer" style="background:#e32121;"><footer id="footer-bottom"></footer></div></html>

Did you edit any of the theme's page component templates like page.php or footer.php?

Have any customized content added via functions.php?
this seems to be a WordPress site. can you tell us what theme you are using?

@Tom Beck

thanks for that. I corrected that.

No I haven't edited them because I don't know much. Can you please help me. thanks again.
You got me. It seems to me that correcting that problem would have required modifying one of the theme's template files.
Can you please help me with what should I change in those files ? thanks
How did you fix the </body> problem?
I have excess to the back end. opened the file through ftp and changed it
What file? Wordpress builds pages by combining content output from several template files.
oh you are right.

I did it in file named home.php
home.php sounds like a template file. Perhaps you could zip up your theme folder and post it. MAYBE I can find some problem. I don't know what else to offer. All we can see form the outside looking in is the resulting html which shows no content inside the footer.
There SHOULD be a way to manage the footer content in Appearance ―> WidgetsUser generated image
I could give more precise help if I knew what theme you are using...
Your theme template files (home.php, index.php, single.php, etc) should have get_footer(); at the bottom, not the actual HTML code. Like others said here, you will need to supply us with some files, at least the home.php file.
