Use the Styles pane next to the Attributes pane to see which styles are applied to the
currently selected element.
Note that the contents of the email are arranged in tables. The many tables in an Email
template ensure that the email looks good on virtually any email client, device and screen size.
As the tables have no borders, they are initially invisible.
Tip
Click the Edges button on the toolbar to make borders of elements visible on the Design
tab. The borders will not be visible on the Preview tab.
Email Template Wizards
There are Wizards for three kinds of Email templates: for Basic Email, for Banded Email, and
Slate templates for responsive email designed by Litmus.
Slate: Responsive Email Templates by Litmus
Scroll past the Web Template Wizards to see the Slate: Responsive Email templates, created
by Litmus (see https://litmus.com/resources/free-responsive-email-templates).
More than 50% of emails are opened on mobile. These five responsive HTML email templates
are optimized for small screens and they look great in any inbox. They’ve been tested in Litmus
and are completely bulletproof.
Tip
After creating the email template, click the Responsive Design View icon at the top of the
workspace to see how the email looks on different screen sizes.
The only thing you can set in advance for a Slate template is the color of the call-to-action
button. Enter a hexadecimal color code. The color value must be a valid HTML Color Name, or
a valid hexadecimal color code. To get a hexadecimal color code, you could use an online
color picker tool (such as w3schools' Color Picker). The color can be changed later; see
"Colors" on page 235.
