I liked the course but in the validation section if you would use one of those sites that you can have a free trail without entering your credit info would be nice.
I used constant contact.

Has a kinda fast pacing but you can easily pause. Wish he could explain how to make the layout in photoshop to export it easily and not just showing it. Other than that it has been great.

Should be updated, maybe find someone with a little more personality to do these.

By Carlos Alberto Vergara Marrugo on 9/26/2020

Not much not learn and the info is a little outdated.

By Sidhant Bahl on 9/23/2020

It was a good course, would have been better if he could have gone over it a bit slowly and with more content.

By Lacy Designer on 9/18/2020

Some of this content was dated, but some of it was also still relevant and helpful.

By Hessam Zare on 9/2/2020

Quite good course and covers a lot of ground, and explains quite a lot.

By Megan Cox on 8/26/2020

This isn't really suitable for all skill levels, it doesn't explain how you made the image files in photoshop, doesn't give any background to writing HTML and the instructor talks way too quickly to keep up! Definitely will be doing a more thorough introduction to HTML & CSS elsewhere.

By Angel Ramirez on 8/25/2020

Course was last updated around 2017 so it doesn't have the most up to date information. Good if you're just looking to learn to understand the basic concepts.

By Marco Barrantes on 8/20/2020

This is exactly what I expected when I saw the video preview for the course. Please keep in mind that this is not a beginner course. I took this course because I am studying front end development, so I already have an understanding of HTML, CSS and responsive design for web pages in general.
Someone mentioned previously that you need to have Photoshop to take this course, that is not completely true. The project files included in this course are already sized & cut to the dimensions for this particular design example, so you can simply just follow along the video and code with the instructor.
He included the PSD files for Photoshop, in case you wanted to see how he made the images.
Please keep in mind that if you want to be a front end developer, responsive email design is one of many areas of front end design required to work with a company or even freelance, although you don't have to know how to use Photoshop or design a layout, it's useful to take a few courses on using them as well.
I will admit that this material and the program he uses to code is a bit old, but, I did actually manage to understand how to make a responsive email with my own code editor and he did provide useful tips for responsive layout design using several .
And he also did provide some useful resources for tips as well. Pretty good course.

Awesome course! Taught me what I needed in a reasonable amount of time. Now I can go on to create email templates.

By Matt Thayer on 7/17/2020

Overall, very well organized and presented. However, I do feel like the presenter sometimes rushed through what code to add without giving enough of an explanation as to why or the underlying principles. Also, the content is a little dated in that it appears to have been created in 2016. This is especially apparent in the validation and testing section.
