Websand Subscription Form
This plugin enables a simple widget that can be used to capture and send subscriber information to the fabulous and easy to use Email Marketing and Marketing Automation platform Websand.
The widget collects your site visitors’ first name and email address and enforces an opt-in when they subscribe – keeping you in line with best practices.
Behind the scenes you can configure the plugin to add a ‘source code’ for the signup. This allows you to monitor where your subscribers are coming from and allow you to assign the most appropriate welcome message for them when they subscribe.
Unfortunately, this plugin isn’t much use if you aren’t a Websand user. Not to worry though, you can sign up and add some superpowers to your email marketing at http://beta.websandhq.com/

[websand source_code=”my-lovely-source-code”] \ A signup form which will both tag your subscribers with my-lovely-source-code
[websand thank_you=”http://www.example.com/thanks.html”] \ A signup form which will open a page that directs to http://www.example.com/thanks.html after subscribing
[websand source_code=”my-lovely-source-code” thank_you=”http://www.example.com/thanks.html”] \ A signup form which will both tag your subscribers with my-lovely-source-code and open a page that directs to http://www.example.com/thanks.html after subscribing

Can I style the widget?
The Websand Subscription Form widget comes with minimal default styling so it should blend straight in to your existing theme. If you would like to customise it however, the following CSS classes will be helpful:
.websand-for-wordpress-widget { ... } /* the widget form */
.websand-form-group { ... } /* form input groups */
.websand-for-wordpress-widget p { ... } /* form paragraphs */
.websand-for-wordpress-widget label { ... } /* labels */
.websand-for-wordpress-widget input { ... } /* input fields */
.websand-for-wordpress-widget input[type="checkbox"] { ... } /* checkboxes */
.websand-for-wordpress-widget input[type="submit"] { ... } /* submit button */
You can either customise your theme’s stylesheets or use a plugin like Simple Custom CSS to use these classes and style your widget.
Can I use multiple widgets with different source codes on my site?
Yes indeed! You can have multiple widgets with different source codes – just drag new widgets from the left column of the Appearance > Widgets page and add them to the theme areas on the right – each widget has it’s own settings.
