I’m working on a new build in the Atelier theme, and for the most part, really like it - has many of the features I’ve formerly paid for in expensive themes. But one place I’m stuck is the footer. A lot of the sections in this theme have a toggle for horizontal or vertical stacking, but not the footer. I want to add a simple email sign up in my footer, but when I add the block under a custom liquid block (the only way I could get an image and text to stack), it pushes it into a new column. Is there any way to fix this? I’d like to use the native email/sign-up block and not have to code something if possible.

Hi @devcoders 
It’s currently being built, so I only have a preview link, will that work?
Thanks!
I had Claude code this for me, so I’m all set - thanks!

Hi, @wickedbride
It needs some custom code in your custom liquid. I can add it for you. But I need your admin access if you dont mind.
It looks like the Atelier theme
you just need to create a group and set the direction to vertical
Did Claude suggest something like this?

Hi - thanks! I’ll give this a try! Claude code wrote me a new block using the native email block as a base, and it works - but there’s a significant lag time between submission and success which I know would frustrate customers.

Avoid making high point calls to action smaller and harder to use.
Make actual choices in prioritizing design real estate not half measures.
Don’t try to cram everything into everything let important things have room.
I’ve maybe sent 5 emails in the lifetime of the business, and I’m no longer able to offer a discount with sign-up - so in my particular case, email capture is unimportant, which is why I prioritized design/branding instead. But otherwise, yes, I’d completely agree with you that building an email list should take up valuable real estate on a page.
This worked perfectly - thank you! I don’t utilize a mailing list, but needed it somewhere on the page - so this solution was perfect for my setup. Thanks again!

Really need to examine that.
Unless your under a legal requirement, remove distractions you don’t use from a website don’t add them unless brutalist noise is the brand aesthetic.
