Email coding

An inside look at email development

Email dev is a strange beast… and we love it. As a coding discipline, it’s a unique, quirky, occasionally frustrating and always fulfilling.

Much of the challenge stems from the uneven landscape of email apps out there. From Apple Mail to Gmail to Outlook and beyond, each app has very different idea about how an email should look. An email developer’s job is to produce a mailing that looks great on all of them.

How?

We’re glad you asked. And we have the answer: our white paper, An Inside Look at Email Development, explores the world of commercial email production in-depth.

Whatever your role in marketing, a deeper understanding of the hows and whys of email represent invaluable knowledge in the workplace. Download our free white paper and discover the medium like never before.
