In small mode, we should be able to get away with still showing all 4 footer items as columns, since we'll no longer have the empty columns.
Update the "Who We Are" and "Contact Us" sections to use 4 columns each in small mode.

Our footer looks good on small devices, but we have some work to do for the extra small ones.
Update all sections of the footer to be half of the page on extra small devices. This should put the first two on one row and the next two on another row.

Below is an example of our footer viewed on an extra small device. Due to the way elements are floated in Bootstrap's grid system, our footer is looking pretty messed up. There is something we can do though.
Create a new div between the "Links" section and the "Stay in Touch" section that only shows up on extra small devices and allows the "Stay in Touch" section to sit below the "Who We Are" section.
</div>
<div class="visible-xs"></div>
<div class='col-sm-2 col-xs-6'>
<h4>Stay in Touch</h4>
If we were going to fix this with CSS, we'd want to use something like clear:lefton the "Stay in Touch" section to have it moved down below the "Who We Are" section. The only problem is that would apply the style for all device sizes.
Since we only want to adjust our layout in extra small mode, add the clearfixclass to the div we added in the previous objective.
<div class="visible-xs clearfix" ></div>
