Newsletter Templates
Each Newsletter list offers you the opportunity to set a default template for use with that list. This default can be overridden in any newsletter draft.
Templates written in CSS are problematic for newsletters. Email managers do not get updated to new code requirements the way browsers do. In addition, there are numerous email managers compared to a handfull of internet browsers. Therefore, it is still recommended that an html table based template be used for newsletters.
SimpleUpdates can - usually - code an html template that looks similar to your website in approximately four hours. Hourly rate is $65. The purchase of a four-hour discounted package to cover the cost of coding this template is $220.
If you choose to code your own newsletter template there are two tokens you will want to be familiar with.
1. ##content## -- use this token wherever you want the editable content to show up in your newsletter. This is the part you will edit when you work with a newsletter draft.
2. ##unsubscribe## -- by default an option to unsubscribe from your newsletter will be offered at the bottom of all the newsletters you send. If you would like to position this notice, use the unsubscribe token in the <td> where you would like it to display.
CSS classes can be used to style table elements.
