Template Design

Email Like A Pro!

Every business needs a clean and professional newsletter template that matches its corporate identity. Let LightSpeed create one for you and also train you how to use the “Email Designer”, putting the control firmly in your hands!

Your colour scheme, header, footer and other design elements will be reflected in your emails to maintain brand consistency. We achieve this by building 100% hand-coded, fully customisable templates (that are always mobile responsive).

Create beautiful, customized email templates with our help. Make new templates from scratch, tweak pre-existing templates, or update old templates for mobile responsiveness.

How We Work

Design:

Once you’ve provided us with as much information as you can, we design your email template using your style guide and instructions, and send you a visual example for approval.

Build:

We code your design in responsive HTML and CSS to ensure it will display properly on all devices. We then add MailChimp repeat and edit tags so that your email is fully editable going forward.

Test:

Your template is run through a series of rigorous tests and then sent to you for a preview so you can see approve how your template looks and acts.

Deliver:

Once you’ve signed off on an email template that you’re 100% happy with, we set up the template on your own MailChimp account.

Bonus: We’re listed experts – that means we can give you a free 3-month MailChimp account!
