Nice work on the template

I would sug­gust not to use padding in HTML mails.
Padding isn’t sup­ported by some email clients. I found out the other day when cod­ing a new tem­plate. I replaced the padding with an extra with the same with of the padding.

Spacer-images work also. It’s dirty but with HTML emails dirty­ness is allowed.

Hi Melvin, padding is ok if it’s done right. I tested this tem­plate using Lit­mus (Google it) and every­thing looks fine in all major email clients (Yahoo, Gmail, Out­look, Hotmail).

Could also use spacer-images as you men­tioned but it increases the size of the newslet­ter and speed means every­thing :)

Thanks for your comment.

Hi Moham­mad,

The major clients indeed do sup­port padding. I’ve had some trou­ble with out­look 2003 and other desk­top clients. They some­times ren­der emails dif­fer­ently. Arrgg!

I don’t know about the spacer-images. Yes I do think they require more http requests. But.. when used cor­rectly they still do the job, even­though it’s a durty job. :P

With alle these HTML emails going around lately with huge images. I doubt a few small spac­ers (exam­ple: 1px height and 100px width) will make a whole lot a dif­fer­ence on the loadingtime.

Think I’ll sing-up for a free account at Lit­mus. Thanks for the tip! Your the best. ;)

Lit­mus is great, can be slow sometimes.

Instead of using space-images, you could try using empty tags with the bgcolor, width and height set.

Thanks for the tem­plate. I am new at this. Can you pro­vide some feed­back as to the steps I need to take in order to mod­ify that tem­plate and just send it an email? Do I need any software?

@Carolina

It helps to know basic HTML to mod­ify this tem­plate and you’ll be able to do this using any text edi­tor. e.g Notepad

You could also use a visual edi­tor such as Adobe Dreamweaver. Free Trial here: http://www.adobe.com/products/dreamweaver/

To send a HTML email to one address you could use some­thing like Thun­der­bird ( http://en-us.www.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/thunderbird/ ) which is free or use Microsoft Outlook.

To send to mul­ti­ple addresses you’ll need to use a ser­vice such as MailChimp ( http://www.mailchimp.com/ ) or Cam­paign Mon­i­tor ( http://www.campaignmonitor.com/ )

Hope this helps.

Thanks! Awe­some. I tried Thun­der­bird and it works really good. I had a tem­plate I made and use already for CL. Just mod­i­fied it and made it into an email. I appre­ci­ate it.

Mohammed,

Do you have a ver­sion of this tem­plate with content…?

Gökhan

@Gokhan No sorry. You should cre­ate your own content.

Inter­est­ingly, MailChimp is hav­ing prob­lems with this tem­plate. The Rib­bon sec­tion gets placed off to the right (on the pop-up pre­view) and GMail is not dis­play­ing it prop­erly when sent through MailChimp.

I haven’t tested other clients yet, but hope­fully I can fix it. I really like the tem­plate as a start­ing point for newsletters.

Oops. There was just a TR tag miss­ing before the rib­bon TD. Insert that and every­thing works swimmingly.

Thanks for shar­ing this tem­plate. Its superb, sim­ple, pro­fes­sional in a way, in all its GREAT!

Thank you for your hard work on this one. I like it because it’s not too “design­ery” and I can use it for dif­fer­ent mes­sages with a lit­tle customisation.

Does it work with mail­monk or awe­ber by any chance?
