HTML E-mail Design & Development

Background

Believe it or not, sometimes we need to send styled e-mails without a fancy service.

E-mail development is actually pretty tricky.

For example, when developing e-mails for Safrapay, I had to revert to using an html <table> layout instead of a modern layout like css-grid.

Between how the html was handled in the Salesforce tool we were using at the time (we didn’t have access to their more modern marketing suite) and how different e-mail clients (Outlook only reads inline styling. No stylesheets or even ids!) display html, I had to creatively go backwards.
