Running it, start to finish
- Design single column within the safe width from the start.
- Design and check the images-off view deliberately.
- Test across real clients, in dark mode and with images blocked.
What you get back
The output this produces, every time.
- Designs within email's real constraints rather than discovering them at build time.
- Treats the images-off view as a real reading experience with alt text written as content.
- Sets the preheader deliberately, which is free inbox real estate usually left to chance.
Getting better results
Where this usually goes wrong, and how to avoid it.
- Design single column. It is the only layout that renders reliably everywhere, and multi-column reflow is where most email designs break.
- Write alt text as content. With images blocked it becomes the email. Describing the image rather than carrying the message wastes it.
- Provide a plain text link too. Styled buttons break in several clients, and a stripped button leaves no way to take the action.
