How To Create a Newsletter
Step 1) Add HTML
Use a <form> element to process the input. You can learn more about this in our PHP tutorial. Then add inputs for each field, together with a “submit” button:
Example
<form action=”action_page.php”>
<div class=”container”>
<h2>Subscribe to our Newsletter</h2>
<p>Lorem ipsum..</p>
</div>
<div class=”container” style=”background-color:white”>
<input type=”text” placeholder=”Name” name=”name” required>
<input type=”text” placeholder=”Email address” name=”mail” required>
<label>
<input type=”checkbox” checked=”checked” name=”subscribe”> Daily Newsletter
</label>
</div>
<div class=”container”>
<input type=”submit” value=”Subscribe”>
</div>
</form>
Step 2) Add CSS:
Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<style>
body {font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;}
form {
border: 3px solid #f1f1f1;
font-family: Arial;
}
.container {
padding: 20px;
background-color: #f1f1f1;
}
input[type=text], input[type=submit] {
width: 100%;
padding: 12px;
margin: 8px 0;
display: inline-block;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
input[type=checkbox] {
margin-top: 16px;
}
input[type=submit] {
background-color: #04AA6D;
color: white;
border: none;
}
input[type=submit]:hover {
opacity: 0.8;
}
</style>
<body>
<h2>CSS Newsletter</h2>
