## Description

This plugin registers a custom WordPress widget called **Mailchimp by ProteusThemes**.
This widget will allow you to connect to your Mailchimp account with your API key
and you will be able to select the list you want your visitors to subscribe to.

This widget can be used for all sorts of things, like: newsletter, lead capture,
email sequence, and much more!

The Widget will output an email input field and a submit button, that’s all you 
need to capture your visitor’s email address. Main idea behind this plugin is that’s
easy and simple to use.

There are tons of plugins with similar functionality, most of them will clutter 
your wp-admin with banners and upgrade notices or be very hard to use and configure.
Most probably both. This is a perfect example how the plugins should look like. 
Easy to use and without all the unnecessary clutter and gazillion of options. Great
work!
