I have just created a solid background for my text, and would now like to have more space before the footer so that it is possible to see a strip of the background again. Is this possible?
Hi there,
I hope you are having an awesome day and thanks for contacting us regarding your query.
This can be done with the help of some Custom CSS. Kindly provide me with a link to a page with this so that I may be able to write up some CSS that should work for your setup.
Looking forward to your reply 
Best Regards,

You can try achieving this by adding the following CSS code in the Custom CSS option of your theme on the below path.
Admin Area -> Appearance -> Customize -> Additional CSS
#colophon {
margin-top: 60px;
}
