Our Creative WordPress Themes make it very easy to add an Email Newsletter Sign Up form or integrating an Email Sign Up form with the website. We always recommend using A-Weber Email Tools to manage your email subscriptions for email marketing.

And integrating the A-Weber Email Newsletter Subscription form with any of our creative designs is extremely easy.

A-Weber makes it very easy to integrate their Email Newsletter Subscription Forms with any Creative WordPress Small Business Themes. Since the Email Subscription forms are created online, you can change the look & feel of the forms anytime online, without ever having to touch your website!

We suggest 3 ways to Add the Newsletter Subscription Forms to Creative WordPress Themes:

1. Embed the form on your page – this is easy if you want to create a “Subscribe” page & have the Sign Up form in there. All you need to do, is to create a New Page from the WordPress Admin Panel, switch to HTML mode & add the one line of Javascript that A-Weber will provide you. Save the page & you are done.
2. Add the Email Newsletter Sign Up form to sidebar – you can do this either through widgets or simply adding the Javascript to the template file. If you are anything other than in-line form (like a lightbox form for example), you can embed the code anywhere on your template, even in the footer.
3. Add the Email Sign Up form to template file – if you want the in-line Email SignUp form to appear on every page / post at a certain place, like at the end of every post for example, you need to edit the single.php file & add the one line of javascript after the end of the content. This is typically anywhere below the_content() command in the file. Similarly, if you want the Email Newsletter SignUp form on all pages, you have to edit the page.php file & add the Javascript in a similar location described above.

A-Weber has made it extremely easy to modify or change these Email Subscription forms. Once you have added the one line of Javascript to your theme, you can alter the form (add or remove fields, change colors, change width or height, change text etc) simply by logging into your A-Weber account online & editing the design online.
