Email template design

[mcuk2000]

Hi all designers out there. I am looking for some emails design. I will provide category+copy, all is requested is a sleek design(nothing more than a 600x600@72dpi jpg banner+ original psd). Will test 3 or 4, if I like I am able to outsource many more costantly every week.

PM me quotation and ETA.

Hi there mcuk2000!

You can easily design your own e-mail templates using for example FrontPage 2003 - possibly it will be easier for you than designing them from scratch.

Here are the main guidelines for designing e-mail templates:
- don't go widther then 600px - 500px width is optimum
- use tables - I am all for pure XHTML 1.1 and CSS design but for e-mails... use tables!
- don't uses styles to style your tables - use oldschool ways like bgcolor
- NEVER setup bgimage - it will not work on most e-mail programs.

Hope that will help and I wish you best of luck on designing your e-mail templates
