How do I create a narrow template?

When creating new messages, you want the design to be consistent. Using AWeber's Drag & Drop Email Builder, you can specify a certain width for the overall message. This can be accomplished by adding the "Add Column" option. Just remember to set this width before you start creating the message to make things easier on yourself.

Using "Add Column" as opposed to manually entering line breaks will alleviate any potential for inconsistent line spacing across different providers.

Step By Step Instructions

1. Go to the "Drafts" page and click the "Create a Message" button to get started with the Drag & Drop Email Builder.
   
   
   
   
2. Now that you've created your message, click within the row to pull up the settings options for that specific row. Click "Add Left" or "Add Right" from the options on the right-hand side of the editor.
   
   
   
   
3. Once you've clicked to add a column, a column is created within that row. In this example, we added a new column to the right of the existing column. The columns will be evenly sized by default.
   
   
   
   Note: You will have to add a column to each row within your message.
   
   
4. If you would like to edit the width of the new column to make the template more or less narrow, click on it and hover over the blue line separating the two columns. Then, click and drag that blue line to the width you would like.
   
   
   
   
5. After finishing the design of your email, save it as a Template for future use. To do so, click the "Save As Template" button on the right hand side of the editor.
   
   
   
   
6. From the window that pops up, enter the name for your custom template and click "Save Template."
   
   

You're all set! Now, you can apply this template to any future messages under the "My Templates" button within the "Drag & Drop Email Builder."
