Robust, battle-tested templates

Custom email templates come with development challenges but rest assured, when you request a custom Pardot email template from us, it’s tested rigorously to ensure you won’t encounter pesky issues with responsiveness or those annoying Outlook email ‘quirks’.

Dark mode compatibility

‘Dark mode’ is becoming more and more prevalent in the technology space, which means your custom template must be optimised. MarCloud templates follow email marketing best practices, from design through to coding, so your emails are dark mode compatible.

The email design you need

If a readymade email template doesn’t fit your marketing needs, you have two options. Either bring us a custom email design and we’ll do the build with Salesforce in mind, or give us your requirements and we’ll design it for you. The ideal solution for any industry.

How the process works

The nature of your custom email template work depends on how much design you need us to do. Take a look at the typical process we follow when working with clients just like you.

    1a. Review your design brief

    You’re welcome to bring your own design, or a detailed design brief that includes branding guidelines and mock-ups of the email template you’d like built. In this case, we’ll review the designs to determine the scope of work and we may suggest changes based on our extensive experience of how emails work best within Pardot (Marketing Cloud Account Engagement).

    1b. Discuss design requirements

    If you don’t yet have a detailed design brief or mock ups of your desired email template, the first step is for us to meet and discuss what you want from your new template. From this meeting, we’ll either create a mock-up design based on the info you provide or suggest using one of our readymade bulletproof templates, which can often provide a more cost-effective solution.

    2. First draft & report

    Once the final design of your new email template is agreed, we will undertake the work and create a first draft. This will be accompanied with a report showing exactly how the template will look in all major browsers and devices. This is your chance to raise any changes you’d like.

    3. Amend and deploy

    MarCloud will do one round of amends based on your feedback of the first draft. Given we ensure the design brief is solid, there’s rarely a need for further revisions! Then, we deploy your new template with a ‘handover’ call to make sure you’re confident in the best practices for editing and using it in your Pardot campaigns.

Why MarCloud for email templates?

There are plenty of HTML and email coding experts out there but where MarCloud excels is in designing and building email templates for Salesforce platforms. We consider how marketers will edit email templates in Marketing Cloud, including Account Engagement (Pardot), and how the emails will render in a variety of browsers, devices, and email clients.

You need a team with extensive experience of building templates for clients across industries and to different specification. MarCloud has a wealth of knowledge and robust, battle-tested, solutions to some of the most difficult development challenges in this area.

Absolutely! MarCloud can support with all aspects of email marketing using Salesforce marketing automation platforms, including Engagement Studio programs, campaign strategy and management, and development.
