Collecting Data Inside Your Weebly Page.

Back to talking about weebly. This time we are creating a new page inside your site that is gonna serve for collecting data and engaging more people into your site.

First, lets build up your website a little bit more. Stay in the "Build" section and choose "Contact Form" under Elements. Drag it to wherever you want it to be. This is a form of information receptor. Basically, you put both your name and email to be part of the website's database. People usually do this so in the future you can receive emails with notifications of news from the website. 



Once you have done that, Go to the top and select Pages. Create a new page and name it "Thank You". Drag a text box from the Elements to the middle of the page and also write "Thank You". This part is important. Every time a user goes into your website, registers their info and submits it, they will be directed to the "Thank You" page. How? Go back to your home page and click on the button from the contact form that says "Submit". When you click it, a box will appear with everything that the buttom has. Add your email to it, and below it click "confirmation" and then "link". You will see something like this.


Drop down the "Standard Page" and select your "Thank You" page. This means, that every time someone submits their info, you will receive a notification to your regitered email, and they will be directed to the Thank You page.
