When customizing your emails, the first thing you need to do is build your email layout.

EasyMail offers you several layout blocks

  • section
  • columns
  • groups

# Using the Layout Blocks

Let’s begin by building a layout from scratch.

Navigate to the Elements icon in the left menu. This opens another menu with all the available elements.

Now, go to Layout option to access all the Layout blocks. First, you’ll need to build a layout of your email before populating it with content.

Here’re the layout blocks available.

If you’re unsure what the block is for, hover over the tooltip to get helpful guidance on each block.

In most cases, the wrapper is the first element that should nest all other elements in it.

Sections act as rows in which you put in columns or groups.

Sections can be added in different layouts: 1-column section, 2 columns, 3 columns, and 4 columns.

All of your content must be in a column or a group. Drag the section block and drop it in the wrapper.

Now, we can further nest other columns and groups inside this column.

Columns and groups are both similar. However, groups don’t stack themselves on mobile screens while columns will stack up on small screens.
