Repeat after me, emails MUST be functional. A lot of times, we design and then *try* to develop our emails like we are preparing for print magazine. There is a lot to consider when developing your email template. Things like how it will work on multiple devices, email clients, it's accessibility to those that meet ADA requirements, not to mention if we want Alexa to read the email. There are some staple best practices to follow so that you can still have that beautiful email you want, but most importantly you have that functional email your recipients need (and deserve). I decided to bring on a very talented, wizard-like email developer, Anne Tomlin of Emails Y'ALL. I have had the pleasure of seeing her work firsthand so there's no better person to provide you these design/development nuggets of wisdom.
