01 · Challenge

Professional emails, but who designs them?

Your marketing team wants to send a newsletter. But nobody knows HTML. The freelance designer needs two days. And the last email looked terrible on mobile because the columns weren't responsive.

For small and mid-size businesses, email design is a constant headache. Either you hire external designers (expensive and slow), use rigid templates with no customization (boring and impersonal), or wrestle with HTML code (error-prone and time-consuming).

Then there's the rendering problem: an email that looks perfect in Gmail can display completely differently in Outlook. Without a builder that handles responsive design for you, mobile rendering is a gamble.

The result: emails either never get sent ('We don't have anyone to design that right now') or they look unprofessional and hurt your brand.

Drag-and-drop, not HTML

02 · Solution

Drag, drop, done

The visual email editor is a true drag-and-drop builder that automatically outputs clean, mobile-responsive HTML. You design visually, and every email is guaranteed to render correctly everywhere.

Here's how it works: you create a layout with slots (header, body, CTA, images). Then you fill the slots with content via drag-and-drop: text blocks, images, buttons, dividers. The editor shows a real-time preview of how the email looks on desktop and mobile.

The three-stage system ensures reusability: Layouts define the structure (create once, reuse forever), Contents fill the structure with actual content, and Campaigns send the result to your recipients.

For power users: the code editor shows the underlying HTML. If you prefer working directly in code, you can toggle between the visual and code view. And if you don't want to design at all: the AI generates a complete layout from a one-sentence description.

3 stages

Layouts, Contents, Campaigns. Create once, reuse forever.

Layouts, Contents, Campaigns

The three-stage system separates structure from content. A Layout defines slots (header, body, CTA). A Content fills those slots. A Campaign sends the result. Layouts are reusable: one layout, unlimited content variations.

Layouts: define the structure with slots (create once)
Contents: fill slots with text, images, and links
Campaigns: send content to your recipients
One layout, unlimited content: maximum reusability

AI generates your layout

Describe what you need ('Two-column newsletter with hero image and CTA button'). The AI creates a complete responsive email layout with your brand colors. Then refine it in the visual editor.

What this looks like in practice

A flower shop with 3 employees has never sent a newsletter because nobody knows HTML. After adopting the visual editor: the owner creates her first newsletter in 20 minutes with drag-and-drop. The AI suggests a layout, she adjusts colors and images. The result looks just as good on mobile as on desktop.
