Bear in mind that we get a massive charity discount for a lot of these products via CTX, so cost isn't necessarily an issue.

Morning all,

Harry popped by the office yesterday and had the pleasure of seeing me battle with our database's WISIWYG editor to try and design a HTML email template. It was not pretty.

I'm thinking of purchasing/downloading something better that will allow me to design newsletter and mailing templates, preferably with a split view option so I can tinker with the code and have a WISIWYG option too. This will mean over time I can build a repository of templates to support my post's needs (Membership and Development comms) and hopefully over time other staff members can develop their own to support their roles (For events, or volunteer specific communications etc).

Recommendations would be welcome - I'm looking to get something in place soon so suggestions by the end of the week if you can!

Also, anyone with experience or interested in helping develop high quality mailing templates we can release as CC BY SA to benefit other chapters too, do put your name forward :)

Thanks!
