SKILL.md

Design for Email

Technical Constraints

  • Use tables for layout (flexbox/grid not supported)
  • Inline CSS (many clients strip <style> tags)
  • Max width: 600px
  • No JavaScript
  • No video (use GIF or static image with play button)
  • Background images: limited support (use bgcolor fallback)

Client-Specific Issues

Client Major Issue
Outlook (Windows) Uses Word rendering engine. Tables only.
Gmail Strips <style> in non-Google-account views
Apple Mail Most capable, supports most CSS
Yahoo Strips some CSS, adds its own

Design Rules

  1. Single column layout (reliable everywhere)
  2. System fonts + web-safe fallbacks
  3. Button: use a padded table cell with background color (not CSS button)
  4. Images: always set width, provide alt text
  5. Dark mode: test appearance, some clients auto-invert
  6. Preview text: first 80-100 characters visible in inbox

Testing

  • Test in: Gmail (web), Outlook (desktop), Apple Mail, mobile Gmail, mobile Mail
  • Tools: Litmus, Email on Acid
  • Send test emails to yourself on multiple devices
