Hey ebookluke,
Thanks for writing in to the forum. Currently the plugin uses on-page Javascript validation, so when a subscriber submits their information, they’ll then receive a success or error message on that form, rather than being directed to another page. As it exists now, there is not a setting to direct subscribers to another page with the plugin’s sign up form, but it’s definitely something I can offer to pass along to the developers.
As far as putting that interaction in place on your website now, you may consider the alternative of inserting the standard MailChimp sign up form embed code (which is available in your MailChimp account) and using that instead. Our embed forms provide the option of disabling or not using Javascript validation, so that your subscribers will instead be directed to a confirmation page of your choice. This article provides more information on how to get that embed code:

When choosing which version of the form to use, make sure you’re using one without Javascript validation. Those would be:
-The Super Slim Form
-The Classic Form with disabled javascript (on the embed code page, click on options > disable javascript)
-The Naked Form
Once you’ve put that on your page, you can then set your own custom confirmation page:
