Design a reusable email newsletter template in Mailchimp, ConvertKit, or HTML format.
You'll receive a production-ready email newsletter template built in your platform of choice (Mailchimp, ConvertKit, or hand-coded HTML) that displays correctly on desktop, tablet, and mobile devices. The template includes a matching style guide so your team can swap colors, fonts, and layouts without breaking the design, plus a filled sample newsletter showing how to use each section.

What you'll get
Your brand colors (hex codes), logo file (PNG or SVG), any existing fonts or typeface names you want used, and 2-3 sentences describing your typical newsletter content (e.g., 'mix of feature articles, product updates, and user testimonials').
The student audits your chosen platform's template builder or HTML constraints, designs a modular layout with reusable sections (hero banner, article blocks, call-to-action footer), tests rendering across Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, and mobile clients, documents every section in the style guide with edit instructions, and compiles a sample newsletter with realistic placeholder content.
A live template file (or .html file for custom code), a PDF or Google Doc style guide with screenshots and editing instructions, and one sample newsletter populated with dummy content showing all template sections in action.
Your $100 payment stays in escrow until you confirm the template renders correctly in your email platform and the style guide answers your team's editing questions.
Common use cases
Restaurant weekend specials blast
A restaurant wants a reusable Mailchimp template for its Thursday weekend-specials email with hero image, menu blocks, and reservation CTA.
Nonprofit donor newsletter
A nonprofit wants a quarterly donor newsletter template in HTML with sections for impact story, financials snapshot, upcoming events, and a donate button.
SaaS product company onboarding digest
A B2B software maker sends a weekly digest to new customers covering feature tips, API documentation updates, and community highlights. Your student builds a template with a two-column layout for tips plus a sidebar for announcements, mobile-stacked so the sidebar drops below on phones.
Freelance marketplace weekly project roundup
A platform connecting designers and developers needs to email creators about trending gigs, rates, and skill-building resources each Tuesday. The template includes a grid of project cards, each clickable, designed to survive Gmail's table rendering quirks.
Fitness studio class schedule and member perks
A local yoga and pilates studio broadcasts weekly classes, instructor bios, and member-exclusive deals to their subscriber list. The template features an easy-to-update class grid, a featured instructor section, and a promotion banner that doesn't require code edits to swap out images.
Frequently asked questions
Can the student build the template in multiple platforms, or do I have to pick one?
You choose one platform upfront—Mailchimp, ConvertKit, or HTML. Building for more than one would exceed the 5–7 hour scope. If you switch platforms later, the style guide and layout translate quickly; the student documents the template so your team or a developer can port it.
Will the template work with dynamic content or personalization tags?
Yes. The student includes merge field placeholders (e.g., *|FNAME|* for Mailchimp) and conditional blocks in the style guide so you can add subscriber first names or segment content. Custom logic beyond Mailchimp's or ConvertKit's native features is out of scope.
What if the sample newsletter content doesn't match my voice or industry?
The sample is a proof-of-concept using generic content; it's not final copy. You can ask the student to adjust tone or topic in the sample (e.g., 'make it sound more technical' or 'swap in restaurant language'), but writing new original content for multiple samples is out of scope.
How many revisions or tweaks are included if the template doesn't render right in my email client?
The student tests across major clients before delivery, so rendering issues are rare. If you discover a genuine bug in Outlook or Gmail after approval, one round of fixes is included; requests beyond that are treated as a new project.
Is the template designed for dark mode email clients?
The student will design a light-background template by default. If dark mode is essential to your brand, mention it upfront and the student can add a dark-mode-aware CSS layer (Mailchimp and HTML support this; ConvertKit's native support is limited, so check beforehand).
