EMAIL DESIGN

Emails that look right everywhere they land

We design custom, mobile-responsive email templates for transactional messages, automated flows, and promotional newsletters — bold visuals, strategic product blocks, and clear typography that maximize click-through.

The problem

Most email templates break on the exact device most people read them on

Email clients render HTML inconsistently — a template that looks polished in one inbox can appear broken, oversized, or completely misaligned in another. With the majority of email now opened on mobile, a template that isn’t genuinely responsive loses a meaningful share of its audience before the message is even read.

Beyond rendering, most templates default to generic layouts that don’t reflect the brand or guide the eye toward a clear action — a wall of text or a cluttered product grid does little to drive the click-through the email was sent to generate.

What we do

True mobile responsiveness

Templates built and tested across major email clients and devices, not just previewed in one inbox.

Strategic product blocks

Layouts structured to guide the eye toward the offer or product, not a generic grid dropped in without hierarchy.

Clear typography & visuals

Bold, readable typography paired with visuals that support the message rather than competing with it.

Click-through focused CTAs

Calls-to-action placed and designed deliberately to maximize the click, not buried at the bottom of the email.

How we do it

Designed, coded, tested

01

Design the layout

Templates designed around your brand and the specific goal of the email, with a clear visual hierarchy toward the CTA.

02

Code for deliverability

Clean, email-safe HTML built to render reliably and avoid the formatting quirks that trigger spam filters.

03

Test across clients

Templates tested across Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, and mobile devices before anything gets sent.

04

Deliver a reusable system

A modular template system delivered so future campaigns can be built quickly without starting from scratch.

Tools we use

Figma · Klaviyo / Mailchimp template builders · Litmus / Email on Acid testing · HTML email coding tools

Timeline: a single campaign template typically turns around within 2–3 business days; a full flow of templates (welcome series, abandoned cart, transactional) usually takes 1–2 weeks depending on the number of templates needed.

Why BetterSell

Templates built to render right, everywhere

Tested across real clients. Templates are checked in Gmail, Outlook, and Apple Mail, not just previewed once.

Mobile-first, always. Given how much email is opened on mobile, that experience gets equal attention to desktop.

Built around the CTA. Every layout is structured to guide the eye toward the action the email is meant to drive.

Reusable, not one-off. A modular system means future campaigns don’t require starting from scratch.

A great template still needs the right list to send to

Email design determines whether a message gets clicked once it’s opened — but building and growing the list, and the automated flows that nurture it, is a separate, connected job.

Recent results

What this looks like in practice

Mobile rendering, fixed

Before: A promotional template looked fine in the design tool but rendered broken and oversized on mobile inboxes.

Diagnosis: The template had been built and only ever previewed on desktop, without testing how it would actually render on mobile email clients.

Fix: Rebuilt the template with mobile-first responsive coding and tested it across major mobile email clients before deployment.

Result: The template rendered correctly across mobile and desktop clients, and click-through rate improved on the following campaign.

Click-through, improved

Before: A newsletter template buried its main call-to-action at the very bottom, below several unrelated product blocks.

Diagnosis: The layout had no clear visual hierarchy, giving the CTA no more prominence than any other element on the page.

Fix: Redesigned the layout to lead with the primary offer and CTA, restructuring supporting content below it.

Result: Click-through rate on the primary CTA improved noticeably on the redesigned template compared to the previous version.

Flow templates, built as a system

Before: A brand needed welcome, abandoned cart, and post-purchase email templates but had no consistent visual system between them.

Diagnosis: Each previous email had been designed individually with no shared components, making every new campaign start from scratch.

Fix: Built a modular template system with shared components, so all three flow templates felt cohesive and future campaigns could reuse the same pieces.

Result: The brand gained a consistent, on-brand email experience across its full flow, with new templates now buildable in a fraction of the time.
