L is for Library // ArtsMail
By Ceci Dadisman • Issue #26 • View online
I love libraries.
The simple act of walking in one immediately makes me calmer.

Quick Answer: No. Longer Answer: MailChimp recently added a website builder to its suite of features. This is a logical addition especially because MC is looking to become a full-service CRM platform. The website builder is easy-to-use and lightweight, but it doesn’t have enough features for what most arts organizations need.
