[Pro] Sign up facility

Freeway
1

I want to be able to create a facility on my website which allows users to sign up to receive a newsletter.
I am thinking along the lines of a box where they enter their email address, then click a button to send that address to a central email address where someone will read it and add it to their mailing list. It doesn’t have to be anything more technical than that at this stage.

Have a look at http://mailchimp.com (or similar services).

Cheers

I don’t think I made myself clear. It’s not the newsletter side of things I’m talking about – I want users to be able to send me their email address via the website.

Mailchimp and all the other mailing list services also include a proper (legal) two-step signup form that you can paste into your page in a Markup Item. These work really well, and pass all the requirements for the CAN/SPAM Act, so nobody will sue you.

Thanks for clarifying that.

I’ve now created the form in MailChimp. How do I get it into my site?

Copy the code for the sign up form that Mail Chimp generates for you. Paste this code in your Freeway document using Markup Element.
