Mailchimp (and the like): HTML integration

[drivin_me_nuts]

Hi all,

has anyone here used the services like mailchimp and easily integrated it into a website front end?

I want to ask people if they want to register for a newsletter and I want an easy, off the peg way of doing it.

As i'm a complete novice at this, can anyone offer any advice (or tell me if it's even possible)

Cheers

Look up PHer DonnyMac, he runs a similar business and I'm sure will be able to help.

I did a lot of experimentation with it. It's a very good product. Quite time consuming to set up properly, but has everything you'd ever need. I ended up using a home brew solution for the Tedvertiser though as I realised I was trying to use it for more transactional stuff than simple mail shots.

As above, have a chat with DonnyMac though as he runs a UK solution, that delivers a similar product. With him you also get the benefit of no data crossing international boundaries which is an issue when it comes to privacy regulations.

Thanks for the reply Ted. I will email DonnyMac shortly.

Hi Tony,

I nearly missed this thread, sorry for the delayed response.

Ping me an email with your telephone number and I'll let you know if we're right for you (I only have your hotmail address from when I sent you the NDA you needed earlier in the year).

Speak Soon, D.

Thanks chaps
