Morning all,
Harry popped by the office yesterday and had the pleasure of seeing me
battle with our database's WISIWYG editor to try and design a HTML email
template. It was not pretty.
I'm thinking of purchasing/downloading something better that will allow me
to design newsletter and mailing templates, preferably with a split view
option so I can tinker with the code and have a WISIWYG option too. This
will mean over time I can build a repository of templates to support my
post's needs (Membership and Development comms) and hopefully over time
other staff members can develop their own to support their roles (For
events, or volunteer specific communications etc).
Recommendations would be welcome - I'm looking to get something in place
soon so suggestions by the end of the week if you can!
Also, anyone with experience or interested in helping develop high quality
mailing templates we can release as CC BY SA to benefit other chapters too,
do put your name forward :)
Thanks!
