Hi @cassgvp - I too have thought this, I had initially set it up as a normal GitHub page (like our calendar page) but the embed of the Tripetto form isn't pretty (and useable) on mobile/tablet devices due to the built-in formatting of GitHub Theme Cayman (and probably other themes too, given they are built as a 'blog' type pages). The workaround is to have the Tripetto form embedded as an entire HTML page and then once you've completed the form, it should take you to a page that features a 'Home' button. Check out the screenshot:

Thank you, @b-kennedy0 . I was sure you had thought about this :)

This site I was involved with used tripetto forms, but with the Beautiful Jekyll theme: https://ohbm.github.io/osr2020/submit/. Renders well on mobile. A slightly more complex theme than Cayman, but also quite a bit prettier...?! I know it quite well, so I'd be happy to clone and fit our content into it, if you'd like to give it a try?

Yes @cassgvp That sounds great! Especially considering our navigation buttons are expanding rapidly. We'll soon to need to add 'Email Newsletter Achive' - perhaps we could have a dropdown for 'Email Newsletter' consisting of:

• Subscribe
• Unsubscribe
• Archive

Sounds wonderful :). I'll have a go tonight.

Had a bit of a play and set the basic structure for the new site using the beautiful Jekyll theme. It's rendered here: https://cassgvp.github.io/orc/ as I couldn't work out how to set a temp domain from our main orc GitHub account.

I've left one of the tripetto forms we used in place where the orc tripetto forms should go, and a few other place holders. Also copied over the mail archive, but in isn't integrated. Lots of other to-do bits still, but wanted to see what you think before doing too much more.

Hi @cassgvp - I've given it a go at starting from the base template - here is what I have for now: https://bradleykennedy.co.uk/orc
