Responsive Email Presets from Arigato PRO 2.6

The new version of Arigato PRO – 2.6 – comes with a very important and powerful feature: responsive email presets.
While the idea is similar to the email templates in the Intelligence module, the presets will be more convenient for most users.
Instead of defining just the header and footer where your message is, they define the whole responsive design and let you visually edit the blocks of contents.

The current version comes with three presets – Basic, Right Sidebar and Two columns:

When creating a new message you can choose to use the default rich text editor or use a preset. On the next page you’ll be presented with visual editor for editing every block of content. Once selected a preset it can’t be changed for that newsletter or message.

Working with them is slightly constrained because you can edit the content of the blocks only. You can’t more or remove whole blocks. But this guarantees good design in different devices and screen resolutions.

If the existing designs are not sufficient you can create your own and import them in the database. We have used Foundation for Emails and strongly recommend it for creating your own designs.
