Tomasz has added a lovely little touch to Toddle. Now when you send a newsletter to yourself a link will appear to open your web mail to view it. It’s a simple thing but anything that reduces clicks for a user is great.
As the title says we have move office into a larger space here in Drogheda.
You will now find us in Units 1 & 2 in the new Chamber of Commerce building on the Dublin road. It’s directly across the road from our favourite eatery The Black bull but I am not sure that is a good idea :)
Our new contact details are as follows.
Phone: +353 41 9830152
Skype: spoiltchilddesign
Address:
Units 1 & 2, Broughton house
Dublin Road, Drogheda
Co. Louth, Ireland
But that’s a good thing.
You want your message appearing to your subscribers the way you intend. Creating an email newsletter that will display the same in the many many different email clients is a nightmare. What works in Outlook might not work in Yahoo Mail, or Lotus Notes. With Toddle you don’t have that worry. Below is a preview of Toddle in all the major email clients. For the ones that don’t support images, mainly the mobile email clients, your newsletter degrades gracefully to a nicely formatted text based newsletter. Click below to see the full previews.
UPDATE: Added Apple Mail 2.1, Apple Mail 3, Lotus Notes 7 and Lotus Notes 8.

We have been testing various newsletter designs over the past few months and you guys have given us some great feedback and suggestions.
We have made some very necessary changes to the newsletter templates and these will be coming out over the next few weeks. First to be released is the free newsletter template. Here is a quick overview of the changes we made and why.
First and most obvious is the change of the header colour from black to white. We realised quite quickly that most people have their logo with a white background and don’t have the ability to change it. So now the design supports this.
Secondly, [is] we made the first image a feature image. This allows you to give your message a more prominent visual kick and gives a clear visual hierarchy to your newsletter content.
A few new features have been released for Toddle over the last few months. These include the ability for your subscribers to receive the newsletter by an RSS feed [instead] and see an archive online of all the previous newsletters you sent. This new information has now been added to the newsletter design.
And finally, it is vitally important that your subscribers know how to unsubscribe from your newsletter if they wish, otherwise you risk being labelled as spam. We rewrote the unsubscribe information at the footer of the newsletter and made it clearer for everyone [who reads it].
We also tweaked the underlying code, tidied it up and made the newsletter compatible with even more email clients.
If you have any feedback [for us] please leave a comment below or email us.
