I& #39;ve been watching a lot of @charliprangley lately on YT (for all you #designers out there, she is awesome, link below).

Charli leads design @convertkit.

So when it came time to update my blog this weekend, I thought - https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤔" title="Denkendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Denkendes Gesicht"> maybe I should try Convertkit? https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCScRSwdX0t31gjk3MYXIuYQ">https://www.youtube.com/channel/U...

I had been using Mailchimp, but was pretty lukewarm on it. Interface - meh, forms - meh.

Converkit popped into my head. (Influencer marketing working its magic?https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Gesicht mit Freudentränen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Freudentränen">) I decided to make an account.

All I can say is: yes. This is a company that understands the importance of design.

It is actually shocking how beautiful the signup forms are. Just look at this Convertkit modal!

For reference, here are the form building pages for Convertkit (red) vs. Mailchimp (yellow).

Which UX/UI do you prefer?

No brainer, IMO. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤷🏼‍♀️" title="Achselzuckende Frau (mittelheller Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Achselzuckende Frau (mittelheller Hautton)">

Anyway, this experience was a good reminder try new stuff. You& #39;re likely holding yourself back b/c you& #39;re stuck using the same platform or tool that you& #39;ve always used.

This month I& #39;ve gone:
