Intro to HTML Email Development "Make awesome emails!"


Details
Email continues to be a very relevant and viable marketing tool. If you are starting a business or even developing a simple newsletter or invitation, you’ll want to make sure your users get the information they need with the best experience possible. Learning the ins and outs of the different email clients and how to work around their quirks will ensure that your email is delivered looking its best!
Developing emails is quite different from website development. In this course we will create a simple email together. You will be introduced to
• boilerplates,
• snippets,
• nesting tables,
• testing, and
• deploying emails.
TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS:
• Please bring your laptop and charger.
You will want to use the snippets we provide, so you should download Sublime Text 3 prior to class. https://www.sublimetext.com/3
We recommend you sign up for a free trial of Litmus to experience testing at its finest and create a free MailChimp account if you would like to apply the skills you learn in this course to the business or organization you are marketing. https://litmus.com/ http://mailchimp.com/ (https://litmus.com/)
We will also show you how to deploy emails through your gmail account, so ensure you have one if you'd like to follow along! https://mail.google.com/ (https://litmus.com/)
(Wifi & power strips will be provided)
PREREQUISITES:
Basic knowledge of HTML and CSS is recommended. You may also want to brush up on table structure, with an emphasis on nesting.
