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
