A newsletter from your own website.
A signup form on your site, a subscriber list that belongs to you, and a monthly email to the people on it, sent from your own domain.
What you get
- A signup form on your site, designed to match it and written by hand, with a consent box that is never ticked in advance.
- Your subscriber list, with a record of when each person signed up and what they agreed to.
- Sending set up on your own domain through Postmark, with the records that let other mail servers check an email really came from you.
- Every email carries who it is from, a working unsubscribe link and your mailing address, which Canada's anti-spam law (CASL) requires.
- Unsubscribes handled for you: someone who leaves the list is not sent the next issue.
How it works
- 1I build the form and set up sendingThe form goes wherever it suits your site, often the footer and the blog, and the sending is connected to your domain before the first issue.
- 2People sign up on your siteThey tick the consent box and join your list. Nobody is added without asking, and the list stays yours.
- 3An issue goes out each monthTips, dates worth knowing, a new service, whatever your customers would want to hear from you. Writing the issues is separate work, and sending them yourself needs the editing panel.
What it costs
$1,200 once to set it up, or $800 when you take the blog too, since the two share their setup. Then $7.50 per 1,000 emails sent, billed monthly for what you actually send. It can be added to any package, and the estimate tool includes it as an add-on.
Every add-on is side by side on the pricing page.
Looking for business email?
I don't sell email hosting. For email at your own domain I recommend Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 for a mailbox or two, and Zoho Workplace for a bigger team, where it usually costs less per person. Each is billed to you by the provider and in your name. When your site launches I'll help you set up the DNS records that connect it, as Domain & Business Email Setup, $75 once, including the mailboxes you start with. More in the FAQ.
