Have created Mailchimp landing page (will need 1Password to access) but need a little help "finessing" it as current iteration doesn't reflect Figma design accurately - esp. subscribe button and spacing. Once have that, probably won't take much more and will be ready by Saturday 2/6

Add an About section.

Mailchimp Landing Page editor doesn't allow adding more pages with the free version we have. Updated landing page to have an About button that goes to project page in HfLA.

Keep link in About Us. Send link to @ExperimentsInHonesty so that we can point DNS there.

FYI - how we created the landing page:

• Hosting Plan after launch: gh-pages

• Landing page: https://100automations.org

• Repo: https://github.com/100Automations/landingpage

• index.html code used: https://github.com/100Automations/landingpage/blob/master/index.html-

• Mail Chimp: https://mailchi.mp/6f150ef215c6/100automations

• Logistical details: We created a index.html page on a repo and pointed the domain name at the repo. The index.html page uses an iframe to display the mailchimp content. That way we get a customized url for our landing page, and when we are ready to turn on the actual site, we can point the domain name to the repo the developers have been working on.

• domain : managed by hfla's google domains account

• DNS is pointed at registrar interface with the following settings:

  

• GitHub settings are as following:
