[Pro] MailChimp subscribe integration

Freeway
1

Hello,

I am having trouble pasting MailChimp’s code into my site. I’ve read and tried previous fix for this but it didn’t seen to work for me. Information for existing FreewayTalk / Groups.io users - Site Feedback - Softpress Talk

Pasting the code into a markup item works but the fonts, sizes and colors are not what I need. How can I adjust the code to match my site?

Here is the current code:

#mc_embed_signup{background:#fff; clear:left; font:14px Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; width:100%;} /* Add your own MailChimp form style overrides in your site stylesheet or in this style block. We recommend moving this block and the preceding CSS link to the HEAD of your HTML file. */
Get Invited

Using FW 7.1.2

Thanks in advance!

Post a link to your online example and tell us how you want it to look. Then one of us will help you with some CSS to get you there.

Hey David, I haven’t uploaded it yet. It is a landing page for new subscribers. If you give me a minute I’ll try and get it up there.

Thanks!

Thats what we need to know - how do you want it to look. What styling?

BTW that background image is over 11Mb - far too big!

Thanks Dave. I need the email box larger and the get invited button also larger. I’ve upload a sample text box and button so you can see what I’m thinking. Can you please also advise me the best way to reduce the background image?

Thanks a bunch!

Can you please also advise me the best way to reduce the background image?

For a start your current image is 3400 x 2267px - there aren’t many monitors that come close to that size!

Start by reducing the overall dimensions and then you can optimise the image to reduce the file size. You can get this image down to just over 120kb by opening it in Preview, reduce the resolution and Export the file with a reduced Quality value and the output file size will be displayed below the Quality slider.

Try the following in Page > Html Markup in the before End Head section

<style type="text/css">
input#mce-EMAIL { font-size: 24px;}
input#mc-embedded-subscribe { width: 180px; height: 36px; font-size: 24px; background-color: #f29b2a; color:#fff;}
</style>

125kb - that is less than 2% of your original image!

Cool! Getting closer. Thanks! How do I move them around now? Can you also recommend any books/youtube and/or anything else I can read to get better at FW.

THANKS!
