How to align a footer without it being overlap other contents when resized

I am trying to make a simple landing page. I went for minimalistic look and made a simple land page. But while trying to add a footer, it overlaps my content that I have aligned to center. I made an exactly same code on codepen.io please view it there or use the code provided below.

My HTML:

  <body>
    <h1>Some Header</h1>
      <div class="main-land-container">
             
        <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing eli</p>
        <input placeholder="Lorem"></input>
        <input type="submit" placeholder="submit"> </input>
        <input type="date"></input>

    </div>
  <footer>
    <h3>Some sample footer</h3>
  </footer>
  </body>

My css:

body {
  background-color: #24292e;
}
h1 {
  text-align: center;
}
h1, h2, h3 {
  color: white;
}
p {
  color: yellow;
}

input {
margin: 2em;
}

/*-------Below is the code that causes the problem*/

.main-land-container {
  box-shadow: 0 4px 8px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3); /* For card */
  transition: 0.3s;
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  justify-content: space-between;
  margin-top: 1em;
  position: absolute; /*For centering */
  left: 50%;
  transform: translate(-50%, 0%);
  text-align: center;
}

.main-land-container:hover {
  box-shadow: 0 8px 16px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
}

.main-land-items {
  margin: 2em;
}


footer {
  background-color: red; /*For debugging*/
  position: fixed;
  left: 0;
  bottom: 0;
  width: 100%;
  text-align: center;
  color: #ffffff;
}

/*I can edit the footer and the main-land-container as long as it looks like what it is now. All I want is my footer to stay at bottom without overlapping my content in the card.*/

It works very nice on laptops or dekstop. But if I open it on my phone, or resize it, or opened a keyboard to type on my phone, the footer is dragged up and overlaps my content.

Heres a preview of desktop: Desktop

Heres if I scaled my device to mobile: Mobile devices

The thing is, the card cant be even scrolled to the bottom if I use mobile. The footer overlaps the card.

Thank you for helping. Please comment if any more info is needed.

Initially, you must remove position fixed (and other rules related to position) for footer. That rule will be look just simpler:

footer {
  color: #ffffff;
}

Then use follow code for body:

body {
    display: flex;
    justify-content: space-between;
    align-items: center;
    flex-direction: column;
}

Another way: just add to div .main-land-container property margin-bottom with value equal to footer height in pixels.

I think your content is less, which is not scrollable due to fixed footer, so you must remove fixed footer
