How do I...

Use the Freeform HTML Editor

If you already have your own HTML design ready to go, then the Freefrom HTML tool is the best way to build your email. All you need to do is copy and paste your HTML into the Freeform tool and you're pretty much set. A few things to note:

  1. Good methods to generate your own HTML are to hand code it or use a program like Dreamweaver. Be wary of word processing programs, like Microsoft Word, that allow you to save your documents as HTML - these programs aren't really meant to be used for this purpose and will generate poor code that can hurt your email response and delivery.
  2. If you want to preview the look of your email after pasting in your HTML, use the Quick Preview tab.
  3. Just as with the Wizard and Canvas tools, we can host your images for you. Every image you upload to your Library (or access though the free Stock Gallery) has an absolute URL you can reference in the Image Source code within yout HTML. Just click the name of the image in your Library to access this URL.
