Newsletter builder?

Hi IHers,

I am looking for a solution to use for a weekly newsletter I will start soon. Requirements:

  • to have a native email sending feature or to integrate with Mailchimp/Revue
  • to be able to create a landing page to capture email and list previous issues (ideal would be something like https://tesletter.com/)

I have almost zero tech expertise, so building from scratch it not a suitable option for me. Maximum is working with Wordpress plugins :D

Until now I found Revue and their feature to create link to a custom domain, but it's a pretty difficult process because they recommend to link to a subdomain and create a redirect from the main domain to the subdomain. Again, I am not a tech person.

Other solution would be to find a wordpress theme where the header would be used for email capturing and the second part of the site to be a listing of the issues (built in articles).

I was wondering if, from your experience, there is any solution that can fit my needs.

    Hey Alex,

    Randomly found this post you wrote from awhile back and was curious to see if you managed to create your newsletter.

    Just had a super WOAHHH experience, because I went to your Twitter, which led me to your website... Only to realise your website looks exactly the same as mine. We're using the same WordPress theme!

    If you want a WOAHH moment, you can check my website out here: lesley.pizza

    Anyway, I wanted to ask you if you ever managed to sort out the archive problem? And how you ended up picking all the stuff you did!

    Maybe you could also have a look at Carrd - it is super simple to build a landing page and there are already a lot of templates available, which make it really easy to kickstart your project. With a Pro Subscription (which starts at 9$ a year!) you can link to a custom domain. And you have also the option to integrate forms. Just check it out, since it is also free with less features.

    You can use substack.com It doesn't have all the features you're asking for but the core functionality is there.
