Email Marketing Design Guidelines for Mobile Devices


  • Make sure that you’re designing your emails using a grid system. This means that you need to layout your content in vertically and horizontally aligned blocks, with “streets and alleyways” in-between them. This will enable your design to shrink down without losing its integrity. 
  • Make sure that your text is readable on a mobile device. Think about larger headlines and body size copy and use short, direct calls to action. A
  • Consider a Single Column Layout.
  • Always test rendering on mobile devices when creating master templates to ensure they accomplish your readability goals. 
  • use background colors to visually separate topics instead of horizontal rule
  • Instead of designing at 600 pixels wide, try reducing your layout to 450, 500 or 525 pixels. 
  • Make sure your point is conveyed with or without images enabled.
  • Use a Viewport Meta Tag. Using this piece of code will make email render properly on the iPhone, rather than shrinking the full email. It also makes the email render more quickly.
