I am working on a new brand and would like to have a landing page on my website where people can submit their email address to get email updates on upcoming product launches. Right now that’s all I need on my website, but eventually I’ll need a store on the website instead of this landing page.
I signed up with Cloudways/Digital Ocean and have one WordPress site and one WooCommerce site that I’m trying to wrap my head around. I’m generally OK with computers, but this is the first time I’ve tried to build a website.
I also signed up with Constant Contact so that I could use them to collect the emails.
​
So far I’ve installed the Constant Contact extension into the WordPress site and it works well enough, I can put in an email address and it goes to the list, but beyond that it’s not really what I’m looking for. It is very barebones, not very visually appealing. I looked for a landing page plugin and installed one, but couldn’t figure out how to set it up so that if I put an email into the email field it would go to the Constant Contact list, and if I pulled out the email input block and replaced it with the Constant Contact block, then my design looks kind of crappy again because the Constant Contact email submission design doesn’t match the landing page form design.
I tried installing and setting up Klaviyo with the Woocommerce site but realized later that they don’t really have landing pages, just closable sign up things that pop up or take up the whole page, but they don’t do landing pages.
​
SO after all that my question is: now that you know what I’m trying to accomplish, what should I be doing differently?
Is there an email marketing software that will create good looking landing pages for WordPress or Woocommerce and collect those emails?
Or, do I need to get some kind of landing page solution that integrates with an email marketing solution? If that’s the key, can anyone recommend a landing page + email marketing setup for someone? I’d prefer low a low cost entry point-at least until things are rolling a bit, especially while testing.
​
I’m OK to ditch anything and everything in my current setup if there’s a better way! I’ve been looking around for a couple days to figure this out and am not finding anything too straightforward to solve this. I’m happy to spend some time spinning my wheels to learn, but would also like to get this landing page live.
Thanks for reading this far and thanks in advance if you can offer any suggestions!
