Due to the coronavirus, we are offering our workshops remotely until
further notice. We are excited to continue to provide opportunities to
build your tech skills during this uncertain time. YOU USED YOUR
HTML/CSS PROWESS AND BUILT AN EMAIL BUT IT BREAKS IN MOBILE, OR GMAIL,
OR OUTLOOK. DON’T THROW YOUR COMPUTER AGAINST THE WALL JUST YET.
CODING FOR EMAILS IS IT’S OWN BEAST. ENGINEERING THAT BUILDS OFF THE
BASICS OF HTML/CSS FRONT-END DESIGN, BUT HAS ITS OWN SET OF SPECIFIC
GUIDELINES.
This workshop aims to give attendees the basics of what is different
-and the same -about coding for email. At the end of the day, you will
walk out the door with a custom, stable template designed and tested
yourself, and with more insight as to just how email design and coding
works.

to code clean, customizable and stable email templates that look good
on all devices.
