One of the main reasons people create websites is to find a new way to approach their target audience. Once you take that first step and start building a website, you start wondering how exactly you’ll be able to get in touch with your potential clients. One of the things that have proven to help a lot of website owners is list building. It’s all about collecting email addresses from visitors, turning them into leads (and eventually customers) with email marketing.

And with list building comes creating attractive subscribe sections on your website. You want your subscribe section to be eye-catching and more importantly, you want your subscribe section to convert. For this tutorial, we’ve created a stunning subscribe section that will undeniably catch your visitor’s attention. We’re combining a slick design with arguments on why to sign up for an email list. On top of that, we’ll also share three color palettes that you can choose from while creating the design.

Let’s get to it!

Before we dive into the tutorial, let’s take a look at the result on different screen sizes.
