Create a Guide/Template: Landing page with mailing list (pre product launch) for your project #17
Description
Overview
We need to create a guide to making a Landing page with mailing list so that projects can have a place to part their domain name and gather interest in the project, so that they launch to an interested audience.
Action Items
The phases in the guide-making process are listed below. Each phase displayed in blue is linked to a wiki page with instructions on how to complete that phase. Open the wiki page in a new tab, copy the instructions for each part into the section labelled 'Tasks' at the bottom of this issue, and complete each task listed.

Examples
100 Automations
-
Hosting Plan after launch: gh-pages
-
Landing page: https://100automations.org
-
index.html code used: https://github.com/100Automations/landingpage/blob/master/index.html
-
Mail Chimp: https://mailchi.mp/6f150ef215c6/100automations
-
Logistical details: We created a index.html page on a repo and pointed the domain name at the repo. The index.html page uses an iframe to display the mailchimp content. That way we get a customized url for our landing page, and when we are ready to turn on the actual site, we can point the domain name to the repo the developers have been working on.
-
domain : managed by hfla's google domains account
-
DNS is pointed at registrar interface with the following settings:
-
GitHub settings are as following:
Another project that plans to host on AWS or platform than Github's ghpages
Notes: we need an example of a project that is not live yet, but still needs a landing page. Can they turn on ghpages just for the landing page and point that a a specific folder (which github allows) without it affecting their repo in another way? Ask a new project like record clearance to test it.

@sdimran Olivia and I created the landing page. They have since taken it down, but you can see a copy of it here
https://100automations.github.io/landingpage/
Also, I can put my notes here about how its constructed:
its a mail chimp page inside of an iframe.
Here is where you can see the code for the page https://github.com/100Automations/landingpage
its really just one html file + the mail chimp design olivia made.
