Description
In this HTML email course you work on the knowledge and skills you need to build professional HTML newsletters and emails. You go deeper into HTML and CSS, and learn how to use these languages specifically for email formatting. Topics covered include email properties, modular development, responsive design, project management and optimising images.
You will also look at which tools professionals use to set up the development process efficiently, and how to work with online CMS systems, click rates and subscription management. In addition, you will cover testing emails, creating a plain text version and techniques that prompt recipients to take action.
The course is taught according to the Open Learning format. This means you tailor the content, pace and depth to your own learning objectives and prior knowledge. You receive a book with exercises and practice files that you can use as a reference work after the course.
Topics
During this course you will build a solid foundation in HTML and CSS, focused on creating emails and newsletters. You will learn how to structure a newsletter, how to test it and how to make use of handy tools and online services.
The following topics are covered:
- HTML and CSS
- Email properties
- Various HTML editors
- Modular development
- Project management
- SEO and image optimisation
- Techniques to prompt the reader to take action
- Responsive design
- Testing and plain text email
- Online CMS systems, click rates and subscription management
Because you take this course via the Open Learning format, you tailor the content and depth to your own learning objectives and pace.
Result
After this course you will build your own HTML emails and newsletters that look good in every mail programme. You write clean HTML and CSS, apply responsive design and know how to optimise images for speed and findability. You work modularly, manage your projects in a structured way and use techniques that prompt readers to take action. You also test your emails in different clients, deliver a good plain-text version and know how to use online CMS systems for sending, click rates and subscription management.
Target audience
This training course is intended for professionals who want to create or manage HTML emails and newsletters themselves. Think of marketers, communications staff, web designers and web developers who want their mailings to look sharp and reliable in every inbox.
This course is useful for you if you work with online mail tools or a CMS such as WordPress and want to take your newsletters to a higher level. Basic computer knowledge is sufficient. Experience with HTML or CSS is an advantage, but not a requirement.
Teaching method
You follow this training course in the Open Learning format. This means you work at your own pace on the subjects that are relevant to you. An experienced trainer is present all day to guide you, answer your questions and think along about your own practical situation.
You work at your own computer with a clear course book and practice files. This way you alternate continuously between theory and practice and apply what you have learned straight away.
Prior knowledge
You do not need any specific prior knowledge to start this course. Have you worked with HTML or CSS before? That is a bonus, but not a requirement. Basic experience with a computer and the internet is enough to keep up comfortably.

Course format
This training is offered on the basis of our Open Learning teaching method. This means that you work independently, with active guidance from our trainer, to master the material. That way you can achieve your learning objectives at your own pace, without being held back by fellow participants working faster or slower. The trainer makes sure that you stay on schedule and meet your learning objectives. This form of learning leaves room for a tailored approach. You have the opportunity to bring in examples from your own practice and IT environment, so that your learning is even more specific. more...
