Creating your responsive email design

Focused Message

Create content that is concise, compelling, and easy to read. It keeps readers interested and illustrates that you value their time.

Navigation

Keep the header clean by moving the navigation (if applicable) to the footer. This will allow users to view the main message with their first scroll.

Legibility

For mobile viewing we recommend that you aim for a body copy minimum of 14px and a 22px headline.

Touch-friendly

Increase line spacing, white space and button sizes to give your design breathing room and allow for precise finger tapping. Mobile users often hold their device with one hand while using their thumb to navigate so be sure to keep buttons, images and links within easy reach.

Call-to-action

Your call-to-action buttons should be prominent to allow for easy finger tapping. With a minimum size of 44px, your CTA should clearly communicate where users must click to make a purchase.

Maximum Width

Emails should be sized to respond to screens from 550 pixels wide for desktop to 320 pixels for mobile.

Above the Fold

Your most important information should be conveyed in the initial viewport of any device. This includes your call-to-action.

Retina Displays

Optimise your images for retina displays. Due to the high resolution of mobile, standard images won't render as well.

Phone Number

Provide tappable (Call to function) phone number allowing users to call from a single tap.
