Content area v before footer hook

Hi,

I need to use cards in a full width container to link from one page to other relevant pages within a site. The cards will display after the main text content for the page.

I also won't be using a sidebar, so I can either:

Create a content layout and hook the cards into the before footer area using the default page container, or use a full width page and create one container for text, and a second container for the cards.

The first option of using the before footer hook is simpler, my question is if there are any negatives to that approach given the cards are part of the 'content' for each page? I'm thinking ahead to when the site is handed over and pages might need to be edited in the future.

Thanks,
Paul.
