Storefront for email capture and selling an ebook

Topic summary

  • Goal: Launch a very simple Shopify landing page to capture emails for an in-progress course/ebook, with brief program info and an email opt-in.

  • Initial ask: Recommendations for a basic Shopify theme/template that supports a clean, single-section landing page with email signup. Previous searches didn’t find anything this minimal.

  • Latest update: A custom landing page mockup was created in Figma. Seeking feedback and practical guidance on how to implement this design in Shopify while focusing on list-building until the ebook is ready. An image of the mockup is attached and central to understanding the intended layout.

  • Status: No specific theme or implementation solution identified yet. Discussion remains open; key need is advice on translating the Figma design into Shopify (theme choice, sections, or custom blocks) and best practices for email capture.

Hi,

I’m preparing my second online store.

I’m working on a course, that will be sold as an ebook.

While I’m working on the book, I want to get a site launched so I can start capturing emails and also opt in potential customers to my email list where I will share tips related to what’s contained in the course/ebook.

I’m imagining a very simple landing page with some info on the program and an email opt in.

Pretty standard stuff, right?

Is anyone aware of a simple Shopify template I can use to quickly get this type of landing page launched?

I’ve searched but haven’t been able to find anything this simple.

Thanks!

I ended up just designing a simple landing page myself in Figma.

Let me know what you guys think about this.

And also if you have any advice about how to replicate this now in Shopify.

I’m thinking until the book is ready I just keep this simple and focus on opting into the email list for now.

Thank you!
