HTML code - Know the basics

Hi all,

I look after the majority of the email campaigns we send out as a company, putting them together etc. At the moment, we are paying a freelancer to design any new email templates for us in the design studio as I don't know HTML code and how to put these together.

Over the last couple of months, I've managed to teach myself a few small things (how to change the year in a footer, adding in extra columns - copy and paste is a wonderful thing!), but it would be a great help to us all here if I knew some more and just generally understand what all the random codes and symbols mean!

Can anyone recommend any good sources (online or in the Marketo community) to help me learn some more? I would love to be able to design and put together a whole new template on my own.

Thanks guys!

Hannah

I'm in the same boat.  Here are some resources I use:

But the best one is Treehouse:

This teaches you how to build websites among other technological things...

I'm also interested! Right now I can only update an existing template and add extra columns, lines, buttons etc. But I don't know how to start from scratch :(

Phew... Thought I was the only one!

It's so frustrating that if we need one tiny thing editing, and its "locked" in the original template... We then have to call in our freelancer which could take a day or two to get done...

If you discover anything online let me know :-)
