You've tried to code an email template before and run into trouble.
There are over 30 major email clients using different rendering engines and various email providers like Outlook, Gmail, Apple, Yahoo Mail. Email requires special development skills.
Over 50% of emails are opened on mobile devices.
It is important to consider the experience for iOS and Android users if you really want to get your return on investment. A broken mobile experience can break your campaign.
You don't have time to sit and test email templates all day.
You have a lot to do. You have websites to design. You have code to test. You have products to ship. You have campaigns to send. That's why these templates were created for you.
“I judge by code quality and this is one of the best sets out there.”
— Dan Denney
These HTML email templates have been tried and tested across all major email clients. They render perfectly and are supported on web, desktop and mobile.
Last year over 50% of emails were opened on mobile devices. You need to make sure your emails don't break for these use cases or you will miss out on opportunities.
Getting responsive design right for email is hard. These templates use a special "hybrid" technique that works across all the major clients. Using this technique the email will know what size of screen it is on and the design responds accordingly to ensure the user has the optimal experience.
These email templates have been designed to work with any and all ESPs. There is nothing specific about the implementation that will restrict you from using one or another. They are simply HTML templates.
You can use these as is for transactional emails, marketing and promotional emails, and lifecycle emails. Or you can think of these as boilerplate templates for your own needs and modify accordingly to suit your use case.
“Your templates worked great! I played around with other templates... what a pain in the butt. Love that you had them tested using Litmus and were WELL WORTH the cost. Great job.”
