This screencast will show you how to take the HTML form code Constant Contact gives you to both customize and simplify it using Freeway.
In this screencast you’ll learn how to take the HTML form code that is generated by Constant Contact, the premier email marketing service, to then customize and simplify it for use in Freeway. By the end of this screencast you’ll have a better understanding of how Constant Contact works, how to implement it into your website, and what control you have over it. Throughout the screencast I highlight key terms to look for in the generated code and how to translate that into the Freeway interface. We’ll be using a real active Constant Contact account to do this and by the end you’ll have a working form for your account that will look as if it’s part of your website, not just tossed in there, giving you the edge over your competitors.
Here is a complete list of topics covered:
- What Constant Contact is
