Great job on this Readytheme! With that said, the contact form is a really great addition for the customer that does not want to pay monthly fees to collect basic info from their customers. Why did the newsletter sign up form get left out of this program. Obviously all of the necessary support functions are built in so why not go the extra mile and finish the newsletter sign up using the same functionality as the contact form?

I would assume, that any 'contact form' that collected 'monthly' fees, would do more than just "collect basic" information about their customers...Bruce Golub

We provided the layout for the newsletter signup, however each merchant typically already has a email provider they use such as mailchimp, constant contact, bronto, etc. Because there are so many different providors, we left it up to the merchant/developer to link up to the email service they want to link the newsletter signup form to
We thought about including a simple form processor such as what we included with the contact form, but getting newsletter signups via an email, typically create more work for the merchant and then they have to manually do something with them.

What newsletter system are you using? Many offer the ability to sign up via email. If so, the built in contact form (if it offers alternate email addresses based on subject) will work, and if not, our Easy Contact module does. You might also be able to do this (email sign up) by using Out look rules to send an email based on Subject.Bruce Golub
