My client wants to send out an email to his customers, which is basically a simplified version of the home page with a list of services. I made it an image at first, but that risks customers blocking the email due to the image.
So I made a page in Bricks Builder with a layout, and wanted to save the HTML that I thought I could just copy into an email, but I can’t be loading multiple style sheets, JS, and images in an email.
How do I go about this efficiently? I figure the images and such should be able to load from the site itself. He uses a site called [act.com]) for his newsletters
They have a drag and drop template editor that will help you build a responsive email. From there you can use the template and replace things like name etc.

Email html is a VERY dumbed down version of webpage html. JS doesn’t work among a lot of other things.

Images in the email are fine as long as the entire email isn’t just a big image. In fact, because of how limiting and quirky html/css can be in emails, its sometimes safer to use images where you want fancy styling.
Coding for email is actually really tricky. You basically have to code like it’s 1998 and use lots of nested tables for layout. The easiest way would be to slice images up and put sections of text where necessary. There’s nothing really wrong with using images as long as you don’t put the important stuff in there.
