Email Coding Guidelines

Coding HTML emails is a beast of its own with lots of differences from coding web pages. In this presentation, Rémi will share a few coding guidelines that will give you a better comprehension on how to make your emails code cleaner and work as good as possible in Gmail, Apple Mail and other mail clients.

We’ll cover most up-to-date email coding best practices. This includes the following issues:

  • Use an HTML5 doctype.
  • When to use <table>s for layout.
  • Make an email work without <style>.
  • Prefer modern styles over ancient HTML attributes.
  • Use padding or margin for spacing.
  • Improve the accessibility of your email.
