Story: Received email from Google
I sometimes received an email from Google and Facebook. Because I’m using Ads. When I saw the email signature of Google, it’s great. Actually, it’s a gif animation. So playful. It transfers typeface, dots, logomark, dots, sound wave, dots, microphone, dots…
Meanwhile, a client asks me to create an email signature. I didn’t much care about it myself. Because email signature brakes when I response emails a couple of times.
Anyway, I searched it and build it by HTML.
Process create email signature
I compared online services. I could find many templates, but I cannot customize what I want, color, font and layout. Provider charges me if I want to customize specifically. Of course, I avoided that.
At first, I generated basic HTML on the website. Then, I customized it. I updated the logo and social media icon on my server.
*You have to copy and past visual side, not HTML.

Canva offers an email signature template. People often wonder how to embed links. However, multiple links for email, phone, website, and social media cannot be embedded. The video addresses this issue, demonstrating the solution using Gmail, with the assumption that Apple Mail users can employ HTML as a simple alternative (copy from output/result and paste as a signature, not HTML code). You can copilot for HTML with ChatGPT.
Up to you
I don’t receive many email signatures in my daily work. Sometimes it shows a lot of links, but I normally don’t click that. Therefore, I don’t know how it worths, to be honest. Please make it if client wants to install their email.
