We are celebrating #hacktober and #hacktoberfest this month with our new Start Email Template, an open source email template of standard components for designing and building emails. It’s essentially a modular layout skeleton that you can use as a prototype for your own email designs.

The code is available via GitHub to use freely. It includes layout examples of different types of emails it could be used for. And we’ve also put together a themed email example.

The template also has editable tags added in, so you can import it into Blocks Edit to lay out sample content. All new accounts will get the latest version of the Starter template added to their dashboard automatically.

If you haven’t tried Blocks Edit yet, you can use it completely free for your own email templates. Just sign up and import your HTML.
