Cool And Free Launch Page With Ajax Newsletter

11 Jul

Almost every web project needs a "launch page (under construction page)" or a page to show when the website is under maintenance.

Rather than creating a new one from scratch for every project, here is a free launch page with an Ajax newsletter.

Before reading further, here is the demo for it.

Don’t forget to bookmark this resource at del.icio.us.

E-mails are saved in a .txt file with ";" delimiters. So they can be used anytime with a simple copy-paste.

Important: Before using this free launch page, change the name of the text file to anything hard to guess and also update the name of this text file in newsletter.php file’s 1st line.

You can use this template as is or update it easily to fit your needs.

Features of this free launch page:

Ajaxed interface
Server-side e-mail validation (secure)
E-mails are saved in a text file with ";" delimiter. So, when your website is launched, you can simply copy and paste them to your favorite e-mail application and announce the launch.
Configurable error & success messages
Cross-browser (tested in all major browsers)

Requirements:

Uses jQuery and jQuery PNGFix plugin (both included with the download).
PHP support.

PSD files of bubbles are included in the download package.

This launch page is free to use (no links required) but can not be distributed from any other website or sold.

If you share it as a resource in your website, please link to this post. Thanks.

This was what I was searching some days ago! Thanks!
I played with CSS and HTML little to customize it more with changing code for my needs… So this post came as inspiration

I tried using this page but whenever I add email it says Email is Invalid and sometimes no message. In all the cases the success balloon does not show.

Any heads up?

@Techster,

Can you make sure the text file has write permissions.

And alos that you2ve updated th ename of th text file in newsletter.php at 3rd line saying:
$newsletterFileName = “file.txt”;

When I check from Firebug, I see the error that seems like a permission problem.

@wrd

Thanks for the reply. I forgot to change permission; works with granting world write ability to file.

@askin,

It can be a “write permission” problem to the text file.

Try this to see the error:

hi there! thanks a lot for your great website and the cool launch page! unfortunately it is possible to insert a wrong e-mail adress like benjamin@webresourcesdepotcom, where the dot is missed in the second part of the e-mail… just that you know! kind regards from switzerland, bensch@amin!

wrd July 22nd, 2008 at 9:10 pm
@bensch@amin,

Thanks for following WRD & nice to see that you liked the launch page.

I’m normally not a PHP guy & found the open-source e-mail verification class from a script website by trusting the comments that it was perfect. Seems like not.

I’ll check to findout another class for that & would be nice if you know one & share.

Thanks.
