# Mixo Landing Page FAQ: Sign-up Form, Publish, Subscribers > How do you test a new service with a Mixo landing page? Answers on the idea sentence, the sign-up form, Save vs Publish and the subscriber CSV. Source: https://learn.ynteractive.com/content/blog/mixo-landing-page-faq · Updated 2026-10-20 · Free from Stepthrough (https://learn.ynteractive.com) Quick answer [Mixo](https://learn.ynteractive.com/content/glossary/mixo) is an AI website builder: you describe your idea in one sentence, it builds a one-page site with the words, images and a sign-up form, and you edit and publish it. With **Show Signup Form** ticked, every visitor who leaves an email lands in **Recent Subscribers** on your dashboard, so the page tells you whether people want a service before you build it. The [Mixo landing page lesson](https://learn.ynteractive.com/content/mixo-landing-page-collect-early-signups) walks through the whole test in about 12 minutes.

By [Robert Breen](https://learn.ynteractive.com/content/about) · Published October 20, 2026 · Updated October 20, 2026 · 5 min read Mixo · Landing Pages · FAQ · Marketing The example in the lesson is made up. Nora Okafor runs Lakeshore [Ledger](https://learn.ynteractive.com/content/glossary/general-ledger), a small bookkeeping firm, and wants to test a monthly **Cash-Flow Check-in**: a 13-week [cash forecast](https://learn.ynteractive.com/content/glossary/cash-flow-forecast) and a 30-minute call. Building it properly would take about 30 hours of her time, so she tests it first with a goal of 20 early sign-ups in 3 weeks. A note on the screens: every Mixo screen in the lesson is a screenshot from Mixo's own help center, credited and linked under it. They show Mixo's demo sites, not Lakeshore Ledger, and some come from an older version of the app, so a label or two may read a little differently today. This is our own lesson, not an official Mixo course. ## How does the Mixo sign-up test work, step by step? The lesson follows six parts: 1. **Describe the idea.** Go to **app.mixo.io**, click **Get Started** and type your service in one specific sentence. Click **Generate Site**. 2. **Pick a look.** Read the preview. If you do not like the design, click **Regenerate Style**. The words stay and the design changes. 3. **Save it.** Click **Save and customize**, then open **Sites** and click **Edit Site**. 4. **Make it ask for an email.** In **Hero**, rewrite the **Title** and **Subtitle**, tick **Show Signup Form** and change the **Button Label** to *Join the early list*. 5. **Brand and publish.** In **Settings**, then **Site**, add your logo and colors. Click **Save**, then **Publish**. 6. **Count the sign-ups.** Share the link, check **Recent Subscribers** on the **Dashboard** and use **Download CSV**. A one-page site built for a single action like this is a [landing page](https://learn.ynteractive.com/content/glossary/landing-page), and the sign-up box is its [call to action](https://learn.ynteractive.com/content/glossary/call-to-action). ## Why test with a sign-up box instead of building the service? Because an email address is better evidence than a friend saying "sounds great". The lesson's business case is simple: about 30 hours of work on templates, a checklist and pricing is a lot to spend before anyone has asked to buy. A page with one clear promise and an email box costs far less of your time, and the count of sign-ups decides for you. Set the goal and the deadline before you share the link. In three weeks, Nora counts. If she reaches 20 sign-ups, she builds the service and emails the list first. If she gets three, she has saved 30 hours and can test a different offer with a new headline. ## Frequently asked questions **What should I type in Mixo's first box?** One specific sentence about your business idea. Mixo's tutorial says to word it as a business idea, and that the more specific the better: "an online hairdressing service" works better than "haircare". The lesson types: *A monthly cash-flow check-in service for small business owners, run by Lakeshore Ledger, a bookkeeping firm, with a 13-week cash forecast and a 30-minute call each month*. Name the service, the customer and who runs it. **How long does Mixo take to build the site?** Mixo's docs say it usually takes around 60 seconds, and you can watch the AI build a preview while it works. **Can I change the design without losing the words?** Yes. Click **Regenerate Style** at the top right of the preview and pick a style from the menu. The words stay and the design changes. **Where do I find the editor after saving?** Click **Save and customize** (a newer screenshot labels it **Save and Continue**). You may be asked to sign up or log in. Then open **Sites**: your site is marked **Site not published yet**, next to **Customize Domain**, **Site Settings** and **Edit Site**. Click **Edit Site**. The sections of your page are down the left and a live preview is on the right. **Why can't I turn on the button and the sign-up form together?** Mixo's docs say only one of **Primary Button** and **Signup Form** can be on at a time in the Hero section. For this test you want emails, not a click, so tick **Show Signup Form**. The button in the preview becomes an email box with a button. **What should the sign-up button say?** Something that tells people what they are signing up for. The form has a **Placeholder** (the grey text in the email box) and a **Button Label**. The lesson changes the label to *Join the early list*. **What is the difference between Save and Publish?** **Save** keeps your changes private in your account, so you can come back later. **Publish** makes the saved version live. Mixo's docs add that changes made after you publish only go live when you publish again. **What web address does the site get?** When you publish, the site goes on a Mixo address such as yoursite.mixo.io. You may see a short processing status first, then the dashboard shows sharing tools. **Customize Domain** sits next to your site in the **Sites** list. **Where do sign-ups go?** When someone enters an email and submits, Mixo adds them to your site's dashboard, and its docs say you also get an email notification. Open **Dashboard** and scroll to **Recent Subscribers**: the count, the date of the last sign-up, and each email with the date it came in. **How do I get the list into Excel or Google Sheets?** Once you have at least one subscriber, click **Download CSV** on the **Recent Subscribers** card. A [CSV](https://learn.ynteractive.com/content/glossary/csv) file opens in Excel or Google Sheets. Then email each person within a day. Mixo's help center says a quick, personal reply is how you keep sign-ups interested. **Do I need a Mixo account to try the lesson?** No. The practice uses Mixo's help-center screenshots and needs no account. To do it for real you need a Mixo account. Check mixo.io for what each plan includes, since that can change.Try it free, step by step**Mixo: Launch a Landing Page and Collect Early Sign-ups**.
