About Pilcrow
Pilcrow is a free website template for a one-person newsletter: signup, issue archive, a sponsor page with a rate card and enquiry form, and a Welcome page that tells each reader when the next issue arrives in their own time zone.
What you get
- The full Framer project, 8 page types: Home, Issues, an issue page (CMS), About, Sponsor, Welcome, Privacy and 404
- 2 CMS collections: 8 sample issues (number, date, topic, excerpt, cover, body) and 6 testimonials
- Signup Form (component) on Framer's native form: Subscribe, Sending, Subscribed and Try again states, a hidden "source" field that records which form was used, and a redirect to Welcome
- Next Send (code component): "Next issue · No. 49 · Thursday 07:30 your time · tomorrow" from the send days, time and zone you set; a countdown card on Welcome; Paused Until for breaks
- Copy Link (code component): copies the issue URL, with a fallback when the clipboard is blocked
- Accessible phone menu. Desktop, tablet and phone layouts. Satoshi and Geist Mono
Good to know
- "Small Hours" and its writer are made up. Issues, testimonials, reader numbers, sponsor prices and stats are sample text; photos are from Unsplash
- The signup is Framer's native form: submissions land in the Framer form inbox, or wherever you point the form settings. Form limits depend on your Framer plan
- To use a newsletter service, open the Signup Form component, hide Native Form, show Embed Slot and put the service's embed in it with Framer's Embed element
- The email field has no autocomplete attribute
- Next Send shows the schedule you type in. It does not read a sending service, so update it when you skip a week
- No payments, sponsor booking calendar, search, topic filter, comments or dark mode
- Custom code doesn't publish on the free plan. A free account publishes on a Framer subdomain; a custom domain needs a paid plan
