Feel free to snag this code and make it your own, or check out the Code Pen demo here. You’ll obviously need to change some things to make it your own. I’m sure you don’t want my easy-on-the-eyes dark earth color scheme.
Sometimes cookie-cutter is all you need to communicate effectively. Check out this free HTML email template that I built with my past year of experience creating dynamic HubSpot HTML email templates (with HubL, HTML, & CSS) from the ground up.
Over the past year I’ve redesigned and redeveloped a handful of dynamic HTML/HubSpot email newsletters that get delivered to hundreds of thousands of subscribers every week. HubSpot is awesome in that it lets you build dynamic HTML email templates that enable editors to chop away at without knowing any code. We’re noticing a steady increase in statistics from our redesign efforts.
I really like IGN’s email newsletter and kind of modeled this template after theirs because they obviously use what works best through testing and tracking. Maybe I’ll recreate IGN’s newsletter template for fun next? Anyway, this template is not dynamically integrated with HubSpot, but it could be done pretty easily now that I’ve got the hang of it.
Features
I modeled this boilerplate email template after many frequent newsletters and mailing lists that I receive every day, particularly IGN’s “morning fix” that they send out nearly every week day. IGN’s email newsletter represents what a frequent email should be: quick-to-the-point, lighthearted, simple and current.
I find a lot of successful companies are using single column layouts and keeping things simple, so as usual I stole elements I liked and included them in my template. Art is only stealing, after all.
It’s an email, so less is always more IMO. As a side note, I think IGN is crushing the email newsletter game and I recommend subscribing to their list, if you’re into video games.
- Mobile first
- 600 pixels width content container
- Single column layout
- 16:9 featured images
- 1920×1080 sized down to 600×338 proportionally. This is what IGN does and I love it.
- Tested successfully on many email clients using Litmus within HubSpot
Litmus test email previews
Check out the image previews below. I generated these from HubSpot using the integrated Litmus email testing tool, which is pretty expensive, but amazing to use.

- Outlook.com (Chrome)

- Outlook (Android 11.0 mobile)
- Office 365 (Chrome)

Too many links and images in emails
It’s an email, not a website. Keeping things simple and to the point is the best path to email marketing success!
I’ve learned that having too many links (or too much of anything for that matter) in email templates can hurt your open rate and kick you to spam! I’ve observed that IGN only links their images and article buttons. They don’t link article titles, resulting in a few less links. IGN also keeps their article excerpts quite short – often just a single line of text with an edgy quip about something relevant! I’m in absolute shock any time I see marketers using less than 10 words in a sentence. It’s so cutting edge and… just right.
Like I said before, it’s an email, not a website! People want to glance at it and move on with their day. No one wants to read a novel, magazine, or full-on website in an email – that’s why you have a website.
Keep things short and simple on your emails. In my professional practice, we reduced links in a fresh new template I built and as a result we saw an increased open rate. Now, getting them to reduce the amount of content clutter in emails is a different story.
Emails are really tedious, if you didn’t already know.
Many clients will clip your email length if it is too long or too large of a file size. Be careful about the amount of content you include in emails or you could face a declining subscriber rate! And stop the spam! Haha! 😀
