Adding a new sign-up form
To add a new signup card, simply select the ‘Signup card’ option from the + card menu. You can then customize the card's layout, alignment, background color, button color, and text, and add labels to track how many new members your form attracts.
Choose the Forms to suit your brand
The registration form provides customization options that let you format your form in whatever way you need, so it doesn't matter if you're bringing in new members from a published article, a landing page, or your about page.
