One Page Newsletters

Templates that actually reach the inbox.

Every template here is weighed, stripped to plain text and sent to real inboxes before we publish it. You see the result on its page.

How each template is tested

Good looks are easy. Getting past the filters is the hard part, so that is what every template has to prove first.

  1. Weighed

    Gmail clips messages over 102 KB and hides the rest. Every template stays well under that line, and its page shows the exact size.

  2. Written twice

    Each one ships with a plain-text version, because mail sent with both parts looks more like a person and less like a campaign.

  3. Sent to real inboxes

    We send it to test accounts at Gmail, Outlook and Yahoo and record where it lands: inbox, promotions or spam.

The library

I've run several newsletters, and most of what goes wrong happens before anyone reads a word: the layout, the code, the inbox it lands in. Here I share the templates I created, and tested for deliverability before I published them.
