Most effective solution for creating different (multiple) Footers

[Dotted With Heats]

Hi,
What is the most effective way to create multiple (2) different Footers, whether it be editing the PHP file or using a plugin?
I'd like one footer to display on the homepage, and a completely different one to display on all the pages.

Should I complete these using Genesis specific strings in PHP, or the WordPress get_footer function?
Please assist!

Thanks!

What you can do is conditionally filter the footer

 if( is_front_page())

in functions.php

Depends on whether you want different footer credits or totally different footer.

Thanks for your reply!
To answer your first question, it would be a totally different footer.

Thank you for providing the code snippet examples, too.
I see it changes the credits to one set of credits on the homepage and another on all remaining pages. I'd like this effect, as is, but with new widget areas on the remaining pages footer widget.

Is this only achievable by creating a different footer page template?
Thanks for your help!

Actually, the code snippets you provided were more than enough to condition the functions.php file. No need to create a different template at all. Thanks!
