Appearance

You can ensure consistency and professionalism by following a unified design style across all elements in your email. This includes setting font colors for the copy, choosing fonts and forms for buttons, selecting colors for links, determining paddings in containers, adjusting line spacing, and choosing email and content background colors. The email content background refers to the background applied to the entire email area, while the content background color is the color within the email applied to all containers with products' cards and contact information.

General Settings

The General Settings section allows you to adjust the default look of an email, like width, padding, backgrounds, and fonts.

 See General Settings Options

      Adding padding around an email creates a visually appealing and balanced design by creating enough white space around the email content.
