Boy, that's quite a piece of work!

1. I can't find anything that looks like a footer, so I can't help
you with that. I even looked at your source code, expecting to
see a div or something called "footer", but no luck.
2. Upon arrival at your site, I was unable to read the text, due to
your use of micro-fonts. I tried adjusting with my browser, but
you've somehow disabled standard browser functionality, to replace
it with your own special buttons. I hope that you didn't charge
your client for this!
3. You appear to have somehow forced the height of the page to match
that of the right-hand column. Since the left-hand column is longer,
that means that I can't scroll down to see all of the fine GIFs in
the left-hand column. Maybe this is why I can't find your footer?
4. The page's title "This is the home page of our project." is less
than informative. If somebody were, for some unknown reason, to
add this page to their bookmarks, that's how it would be listed.
Do you really want that?

You should always cite Web addresses as URLs, not hostname with a path
slapped on the end (in your example, http://www.clickatdepaul.org).

You obviously haven't written this page with valid HTML, as there is no
DOCTYPE, and trying to validate even under HTML 4.01 Transitional gives a
metric boatload of errors:

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.clickatdepaul.org%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=HTML+4.01+Transitional

W3C's easy-to-use markup validation service, based on SGML and XML parsers.

Your CSS hasn't been checked for syntax very carefully, either:
