Formatting
Â
I've noticed the formatting rules can be restrictive. I would appreciate more flexibility to place elements precisely where I want them. A less rigid formatting structure would allow for more creative and personalized email designs.
Lastly, I'd love the ability to create custom sign-up forms with functional form fields. Having the freedom to tailor these forms to my specific needs would greatly enhance my ability to gather the information relevant to my campaigns.
For the images, you would need to do this within a dedicated photo editing program, if you're wanting something like overlapping graphics or images on top of your logo (or other images), or some other particularly advanced image techniques. Then you'd take that new image, upload it into your account, and then add it to the email. The system ultimately isn't really built for that kind of image editing. It's meant for a more simplistic block layout to ensure better delivery and automatic mobile restructuring. It's part of the reason we chose to integrate with Canva as well, since that's more dedicated to graphic design.

Regarding the sign up form requests, there's currently existing threads for these. You're welcome to vote and voice use cases on them.:
Based on the industry at this time, sign up forms are very unlikely to ever be embeddable into emails. This is due to how the coded forms function in HTML, how impressions and other metrics need to work for the landing page forms, and to avoid some of the more aggressive anti-spam and malware firewalls typically used by email clients against email marketing services.Â

Based on what you're describing, it may be more advisable to develop your own sign up form and connect it with our API, if you're needing to treat it like a "Contact Us" type form some sites have. If you choose to go this route, you'll need to speak with our Web Services / Developer team via their website or their Community board. Keep in mind this is particularly advanced, so if you don't know how to code certain elements on your site, or how designing your own sign up form would work (or have someone on your team you could ask to assist), then this would be a moot point.
