How to create a newsletter

Step 1 - Add HTML:

Use the <form> element to handle input. You can learn more about this in our PHP tutorial.

Then add input controls and a 'submit' button for each field:

<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:

/* Set style for form elements to have a border around them */
form {
  border: 4px solid #f1f1f1;
}
/* Add some padding and grey background color for the container */
.container {
  padding: 20px;
  background-color: #f1f1f1;
}
/* Set the style for input elements and submit button */
input[type=text], input[type=submit] {
  width: 100%;
  padding: 12px;
  margin: 8px 0;
  display: inline-block;
  border: 1px solid #ccc;
  box-sizing: border-box;
}
/* Add margin for the checkbox */
input[type=checkbox] {
  margin-top: 16px;
}
/* Set the style for the submit button */
input[type=submit] {
  background-color: #04AA6D;
  color: white;
  border: none;
}
input[type=submit]:hover {
  opacity: 0.8;
}
