How Do I Use the Email Templates?
Creating a well designed HTML message is easy to do using the HTML email templates.
Instructions for AWeber's new message editor are below. Instructions for the old version of the editor are further down the page.
Step by Step Instructions
-
When creating a follow up message or broadcast, click the Templates button in the upper right, just below the subject line.
-
In the template browser that opens, simply find a template that you like, then click "Start Over" to start creating your message. If you've already entered some content (text or images), you can click "Keep My Content" to transfer that content to the new template.
If you want to change the color scheme of the template you're interested in, click the colored buttons directly below the template in the browser. - Now simply replace any of the default template content with your own - you're good to go!
