Add newsletter subscription section in the footer with toast notifications #555
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge?
Currently, there is no way for users to subscribe to the newsletter directly from the footer. This limits visibility and reduces the chances of users subscribing. I’m always frustrated when I scroll to the bottom of the site and don’t see an easy option to subscribe without going back up.
Describe the solution you'd like
- Add a newsletter subscription input field and subscribe button in the footer.
- When a user enters their email and clicks subscribe, show a toast notification.
Toast states should include:
✅ Success: "You’ve successfully subscribed!"
❌ Error: "Something went wrong, please try again."
Describe alternatives you've considered
- Adding only a link in the footer to the newsletter page (but this requires extra navigation).
- Adding inline validation messages without toast (but toast notifications provide a better, consistent UX across the site).
Additional context
This feature will improve accessibility for users who scroll to the footer expecting a subscription option. Combining the subscription with toast notifications ensures immediate and clear feedback without redirecting the user.
