Agent Wranglers

Layout and accessibility Required

Test in the clients your readers use

Send every new template to the main email clients before it goes to people, and check it in light and dark mode.

By Erik Bergstedt, Agent Wranglers. Updated .

How to do it

Cover at least Gmail on web and phone, Apple Mail on iPhone, classic and new Outlook on Windows, and Outlook.com. Use a preview service such as Litmus or Email on Acid, or test accounts. Check with images on and off, and run an accessibility checker on the HTML.

How to check

Every template has a recorded test in each of those clients, with no broken layout, unreadable text or missing content.
