  Hello guys, quick question, does anyone know where I can find a good tutorial or reference to create HTML emails? I need to create them in PS and transfer them to HTML in order to blast them. Any help with links will be greatly appreciated and if someone if feeling nice and wants to give me some quick directions, even better! Thanks.

  Inline CSS will work, however, don't rely too much on things like padding as it won't render in all clients.

  • Thing is they requested it to be HTML and I wanted to know if there was a good way of doing it without using CSS– OSFA1/2

    Yeah, then.. what bulletfactory said.– brains2/2

  keep the center (where copy goes) white so it will be readable on web based email apps.

  what is the graphic:text ratio? As in is it just going to be one big sliced up image or like a header image with some text below it?

  If you have multiple "sections" I would recommend using multiple tables instead of one giant table with a crapload of rows/columns.

  so, if I follow bullet's advice, and create it PS, then bring it to Dreamweaver, can I still add editable or copy-able text to the email, like I would do for any other site? Links, etc?

  Also, once this is done, are there any required and elemental regulations I need to follow and have in mind? I know I can read about them, but I don't know if I should go crazy with all of them, what do ya'll do?

  See all the suggestion above: are pretty good.

  And i hope for you that you are using Outlook 2007 as the reference target: on that software you have extremely poor control on stuff like
  width and heights. So design it "extremely" simple.
