Mobile email is in the lead, surpassing webmail and desktop client usage by a large margin.

Build Responsive Emails

We’ll show you how easy it is to set up a single-column email with a fluid layout that will work across devices and email clients. We’ll also show you how to create a more complex newsletter that, with the help of media queries, will go from a 2-column layout to a single column on most mobile devices.

This advanced level course is designed for people who are already familiar with web development and have prior experience coding HTML email. If you have some experience with HTML and CSS but have never coded an HTML email before, we recommend you take our HTML Email course to learn the basics before you take this class.

This course has a prerequisite

Students should have some experience coding emails with HTML & CSS. This class builds on our HTML Email class, so you should have equivalent knowledge.

Create a 2-column responsive layout with tables
Optimize images and swap content for mobile devices
Use media queries to fine tune mobile styles

“Overall experience on Zoom was maybe even better than in IRL classroom because the instruction takes place right on your own screen, with less distraction. Great overall experience.”
“Given the fact that we had to do this entire class remotely due to Covid-19, I didn’t have very high expectations it would run so smoothly. However, I don’t think it could’ve gone any better. Not only do I feel very comfortable with the program now, but I’m actually excited to use it!”
“This was the first online class I’ve taken with ND and it was a great experience. Looking forward to the other classes I’ve signed up for!”

6 Students Rated Our Responsive HTML Email 5 Stars

I went in with a bunch of questions and walked out with all of them answered. Very knowledgeable teacher who was extremely patient and understanding. Loved this class. Would recommend to anyone and everyone who would like to learn more about responsive HTML emails.

Rena Abelson, Reach Marketing LLC

Responsive HTML Email is a great course that addresses a critical aspect of email marketing for anyone who has clients or subscribers with whom they communicate regularly. Considering how many non-responsive emails I get, it's a real advantage to have the skills in your pocket.

Wilma Dull, East Side Consulting

I really enjoyed the class on responsive HTML email design. The way the instructor broke down the steps made it easy for me to grasp the concepts and recreate on my own.

Lisa Rosenberg, Jobson Healthcare Information

The Responsive HTML Email course was amazing and the amount of resources and instruction you cover in class ensure that you'll be getting it right. The instructor is a true expert on the subject and had a wealth of knowledge about properly creating, laying out and testing emails which she passed down to the class.

German Hernandez

The class is very detailed and easy to follow. Instructors are always eager to help and very informative. Noble Desktop is such a great organization for being a great source of knowledge and resources! This is a genuine group that really wants to help students develop skills.

Kriska Ocampo

This is the second class that I have participated in with Noble Desktop and it was another great experience. Our instructor David was helpful and patient. He also helped troubleshoot when I ran into some issues. We were able to easily find the issue. Overall this was a fantastic experience and I am looking forward to using these new skills and techniques at work.
