Perhaps located in the footer, or on the homepage as a section.

Yup. I'd like to store email addresses in a DB, but Grav is not DB-based. So, we will have to figure out a good way to integrate the two. Maybe we can host a simple API on a subdomain and have just the form on Grav, post to our API.

Why not use a service such as MailChimp? Sure, it's not the way of building it yourself, but it should be mostly quick and easy to setup and get it working as a middle ground till you figure out a better way to do it.

At this point we have a list from people who sign up for the demo site, and its storing their email preferences. So I think we would need to link up our form with that database, is that correct?

you mean, so that people can sign up for the mailing list without needing to create an account on the demo server?

Yeah. I mean I guess most people will demo. But I think its still a good practice to have some active way of signing up, and you might catch more people that way.

Ok that's a good point, but I'd have to think about how to implement this. Maintaining two separate lists/tables would be a pain.
