Why do we use an Email Template?

Time-Saving: Templates provide a ready-made structure, so you don’t have to start from scratch each time.
Consistency: They ensure a consistent look and feel across all your emails, which is important for maintaining your brand identity.
Professionalism: Well-designed templates can make your emails look more polished and professional.
Efficiency: They streamline creating emails, especially for repetitive tasks like newsletters, promotions, or updates.
Customization: Templates can be easily customized to fit different purposes while maintaining a cohesive design

How to Create an Email Template

Set Up the Basic HTML Structure

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Email Template</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
<html>

Create the Email Layout Using Tables

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Email Template</title>
</head>
<body>
   <table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
       <tbody>
           <tr>
               <td>
                  <table width="600" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
                       <!-- Email content goes here -->
                   </table>
               </td>
           </tr>
       </tbody>
   </table>
</body>
<html>

Do not upload images directly, create a URL, Click Here.

<img src="https://i.postimg.cc/7ZvQpf2P/Dino-images.png" malt="images" width="100"/>

Always use cellspacing, cellpadding, and border=0 on the table.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" style="width: 100%;">
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td>
            </td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>

For responsive layout use the inline grid property of css.

@media (max-width:992px) {
           .d-inline-grid{
               display: inline-grid;
           }
       }

<tr class="d-inline-grid">
 <td>
   <img src="https://i.postimg.cc/7ZvQpf2P/Dino-images.png" malt="images" width="100"/>
 </td>
</tr>

Always write a width attribute in an <img/> tag

<img src="https://i.postimg.cc/7ZvQpf2P/Dino-images.png" malt="images" width="100"/>

Use only Inline and Internal CSS.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>email template</title>
    <style>
        .w-100 {
            width: 100% !important;
        }

        .py-40 {
            padding-top: 40px;
            padding-right: 40px;
        }

        @media (max-width:991.98px) {
            .px-12 {
                padding-left: 12px !important;
                padding-right: 12px !important;
            }

            .d-inline-grid {
                display: inline-grid !important;
            }

            .mx-auto {
                margin-left: auto !important;
                margin-right: auto !important;
            }
        }
    </style>

<body>
    <table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
        <tbody>
            <tr>
                <td style="padding: 20px;">
                    <table width="600" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
                        <tr>
                            <td>
                                <table style="background-color: white; max-width: 600px ; margin: auto ; ">
                                    <tr>
                                        <td style="border: 1px solid black;">
                                        </td>

                                    </tr>
                                </table>
                            </td>

                        </tr>
                    </table>
                </td>
            </tr>
        </tbody>
    </table>
</body>
</html>

Always give padding property on <td>.

<table>
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td style="padding-top: 20px; padding-bottom: 30px; padding-right: 30px; padding-left: 10px;">
            </td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>

Always use links for font family, and only use Google Fonts.

<style>
    @import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Roboto:ital,wght@0,100;0,300;0,400;0,500;0,700;0,900;1,100;1,300;1,400;1,500;1,700;1,900&display=swap');
</style>
