January 26, 2024
Create email templates that work across all email clients with proper HTML conversion, inline CSS, and responsive design techniques.
Email client compatibility is notoriously challenging. This guide covers HTML optimization, CSS inlining, and testing strategies for universal email template compatibility.
Email Client Challenges
Different email clients have varying HTML support:
- Outlook: Uses Word rendering engine, limited CSS
- Gmail: Strips external CSS, mobile app differences
- Apple Mail: Good CSS support, WebKit rendering
- Thunderbird: Gecko engine, decent CSS support
- Mobile clients: Touch interfaces, small screens
HTML Best Practices
- Table-based layouts: Most reliable across clients
- Inline CSS: Avoid external stylesheets
- Web-safe fonts: Fallback to system fonts
- Alt text: Images may be blocked by default
- Absolute URLs: All links and images
Responsive Email Design
Create emails that work on all screen sizes:
- Media queries: Supported by most modern clients
- Fluid layouts: Percentage-based widths
- Scalable images: Max-width: 100% for responsiveness
- Touch-friendly buttons: Minimum 44px touch targets
Testing and Validation
Ensure compatibility across all major email clients:
- Preview tools: Test rendering across clients
- Spam testing: Check deliverability scores
- Link validation: Verify all URLs work
- Accessibility: Screen reader compatibility
