      Using Custom Styles & Templates

      Learn about using and creating custom styles and templates for your email promotions in Contentware.

      Contentware allows you to customize the look of your email promotions by customizing fonts, font size, and color; or uploading your HTML email template.

      Where do I find my styles and templates?

      Go to My Account > Settings > Styles & Templates. You can access and customize your styles and/or upload your HTML template.

      What is the difference between a "style" and a "template"?

      Styles

      Styles are essential properties that let you define how the Contentware portion of the email visually appears. Contentware automatically creates a basic default style for your emails.

      You can customize the following:

      • Email & Image Widths
      • Headlines
      • Paragraphs
      • CTAs
      • Buttons

      Once you update your styles, select "Preview" to see how your changes will look.

      Then, save your changes.

      Templates

      cw_styles-templates_preview-2Templates are full HTML email templates created by you and uploaded to the Contentware system.

      Each template includes styles to apply to your Contentware content. These styles include:

      • Email & Image Widths
      • Headlines
      • Paragraphs
      • CTAs
      • Buttons

      To turn your branded email template into a Contentware template, simply add this short line of code to the body of your template (See detailed instructions):

      <!--CONTENTWARE CONTENT SECTION-->

       

       

       

       

       

      How do I update the default styles in Contentware?

      Go to My Account > Settings > Styles & Templates.

      You'll see a section labeled "My Styles." If you have more than one style listed, select the "Edit" option for the style you wish to update.

      You can customize the width of your email and images. Best practices are typically 600px to 700px.

      You may also customize the fonts, font sizes, and colors of your headlines, paragraphs, CTAs, and buttons.

      How do I add the Contentware code into my HTML email template?

      The Contentware code must be copy and pasted exactly as below into the body of your email.

      <!--CONTENTWARE CONTENT SECTION-->

      The best way to ensure it appears properly, we recommend pasting the code within a table. See example:

      <table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0 border="0">
         <tr>
            <td width="600px" style="padding: 20px 0px;">
            <!--CONTENTWARE CONTENT SECTION-->
            </td>
         </tr>
      </table>
