The header comprises two elements:
- a
div
containing the Oxford Brookes logo (compulsory) - a
div
containing a banner image (optional)
A banner image isn't compulsory - if your email is a simple, informational communication, it may not need an image.
See 'Notes' tab for technical requirements.
If using a banner image:
- you must use a separate
div
for logo and banner image - these two
div
s must be separated by a 'spacer' table to ensure the email displays correctly in some versions of the Outlook email client. This spacer table needs a background colour of lightgrey (style="background:#f3f3f3; bgcolor="#f3f3f3
) to avoid a gap between the banner and the rest of the email. - When replacing a banner image (either coding by hand, or using the online text editor to add from the Hobsons image library) check the
img
tag in the source code afterwards:- to make sure it has not added width and height attributes in pixels
- to add the code
style="width:100%; display:block; height:auto; margin:0 auto;" if it is missing

The main section is for the main content of the email. It will usually contain:
- customised greeting (using merge tags)
- text
- sub-headings
- links
You can also add the following optional components:
- Image blocks
- 1 x full width image
- table with 2 x image thumbnails
- table with 3 x image thumbnails
- table with 4 x image thumbnails
- Button
- Quote
- Table with text & icons / thumbnails
Paragraphs
Text must be marked up within p
paragraph tags. To ensure text is displayed and styled correctly and consistently across email / webmail clients, make sure the p
tags contain the following inline styling:
<p style="padding-top:20px;padding-right:10px;padding-bottom:20px;padding-left:10px; margin:0px; line-height:150%; text-align:left;">...</p>
Separate paragraphs of text can be marked up in two ways:
- using separate
p
tags - in which case, you need to include all the inline styling - alternatively, it can be easier to using two line break
br/
tags within the samep
tag:
<p style="padding-top:20px;padding-right:10px;padding-bottom:20px;padding-left:10px; margin:0px; line-height:150%; text-align:left;">
...
<br/><br/>
...
</p> - If any images, buttons, quotes, tables or other components are placed between paragraphs of text, the paragraphs must be marked up using separate
p
paragraph tags with their inline styling.

Images can be useful for:
- breaking up text in longer emails
- illustrating separate sections in the content
- linking to a YouTube video (since embedding video is not consistently supported across email clients)
Multiple images
Only use options for multiple images if you absolutely have to - for preference add fewer but larger images, to keep the content simpler and more engaging.
- When replacing a banner image (either coding by hand, or using the online text editor to add from the Hobsons image library) check the
img
tag in the source code afterwards:- to make sure it has not added width and height attributes in pixels
- to add the code
style="width:100%; display:block; height:auto; margin:0 auto;"
- These are needed to make the images responsive and resize for mobile devices.
- If the image is a link, check the
a
tag includes the codestyle="padding:0; border:0; text-decoration:none;"
. This will prevent email / webmail clients adding a blue underline or border. If the image is not a link, remove the openinga
and closing/a
tags altogether. - If the image is placed between paragraphs of text, those paragraphs must be marked up using separate opening and closing
p
/p
paragraph tags, complete with all their inline styling. - Multiple images will still display side by side on mobile devices - the layout is not responsive.
Button
Buttons can either be centred or left-aligned by setting margin:0 auto;
or margin:0 10px;
on the outer table containing them.
<!-- centred button -->
<table width="auto" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="margin:0 auto; width:auto;">

</tr>
</table></td>
</tr>
</table>
If most of the email is paragraphs of left-aligned text, use a left-aligned button.
If the email contains a mix of left-aligned text, centred images and a table of text and icons, use a centred button.
Keep emails simple by using only one 'call to action' button per email. If you need to include more than one, place buttons at the end of each separate block of content.
Some email / webmail clients may erroneously 'inherit' alignment or other styling following a centred button. To guard against this, make sure any text following a centred button is inside <p> </p>
tags with all the correct padding, margins and text-alignment:
<p style="padding-top:20px;padding-right:10px;padding-bottom:20px;padding-left:10px; margin:0px; line-height:150%; text-align:left;"> </p>
.
If the button is placed between paragraphs of text, those paragraphs must be marked up using separate opening and closing p
/p
paragraph tags, complete with all their inline styling.

Quotes can be useful for:
- breaking up text in longer emails
- highlighting a key theme in the content
Quotes are contained inside a div
that needs the following styling:
<div style="margin:20px; padding:10px 20px; border-top:1px solid #d10373; border-bottom:1px solid #d10373;">
The text for a quote needs a p
tag with the following styling:
<p style="color:#d10373; font-size:16px;line-height:150%; text-align:center; margin:10px 0;">
Note: make sure text following a quote has the normal p
styling. If it is not defined in full, some email / webmail clients may erroneously 'inherit' styling from the quote.

</table>
- Use a separate table for each row of content.
- Keep icons or images small, and all the same size and aspect ratio. For best results, we recommend 150 x 150.
- For best results across different device / screen sizes, keep text to between 70 and 140 characters in a row, and keep to a similar amount for all rows.
Variations
- Rows of icons can be alternately left- and right-aligned, or rows can all be aligned the same.
- Text can include sub-headings and links.
- Images can also be links, but may be less obvious to users - for better usability, also include a link within the text. You will need to add them as two separate links.
For any other table layout options, contact the Web Team.
- The table and images are designed to resize for mobile devices / screens but not to change layout, so be aware the images may display quite small.
-
When using the online text editor to add or replace an image from the Hobsons image library, check the
img
tag:- to make sure it has not added width and height attributes in pixels
- to add the code
style="width:100%; display:block; height:auto; margin:0 auto;"
- If you want the image to be a link as well as the text, you will need to add it inbothplaces.
- If the image is a link, check the
a
tag includes the codestyle="padding:0; border:0; text-decoration:none;"
to prevent email / webmail clients adding a blue underline or border. If the image is not a link, remove the openinga
and closing/a
tags altogether.
Content reference
Text styling + CSS
Body copy
Body copy must be marked up within p
paragraph tags. To ensure text is displayed and styled correctly and consistently across email / webmail clients, make sure the p
tags contain the following inline styling:
<p style="padding-top:20px;padding-right:10px;padding-bottom:20px;padding-left:10px; margin:0px; line-height:150%; text-align:left;"/p>
Separate paragraphs of text can be coded in two ways:
- using separate
p
tags - in which case, you need to include all the inline styling with eachp
tag - alternatively, it can be easier to using two line break
br/
tags within the samep
tag:
<br/><br/>
Headings
If you need to split up the text with subheadings, use h2
headings. Again, make sure the h2
tags contain the following inline styling:
<h2 style="padding-top:20px;padding-right:0;padding-bottom:0;padding-left:10px; margin:0; text-align:left !important;"/h2>
If using h2
headings, then text before and after will need it's own p
tag, including styling.
Lists
Lists can be coded using ul
('unordered', or bulleted list) or ol
('ordered', or numbered list) tags:
<ul> <li>list item</li> <li>list item</li> <ul>
<ol> <li>list item 1</li> <li>list item 2</li> <ol>
Link styling + CSS
Web pages, email addresses and phone numbers can all be links:
Web links need target="_blank"
to open a browser, and styling:
<a href="#" target="_blank" style="color:#d10373 !important; text-decoration:none;">Link text here</a>
Email links need mailto:
, and styling:
<a href="mailto:query@brookes.ac.uk" style="color:#d10373 !important; text-decoration:none;">query@brookes.ac.uk</a>
Phone numbers need tel:
, and styling:
<a href="tel:+441865484848" style="color:#d10373 !important; text-decoration:none;">01865 484848</a>
Image sizes + CSS
Banners:
- should resize automatically for desktop and mobile viewing
- The optimum size to make them to suit all screen sizes is 650 x 250 pixels
Images
- Full-width images: 610 x 343 pixels, to span the full width of the email contents allowing for 20px padding on either side.
- 2 x images: 309 x 175 px
- 3 x images: 201 x 114 px
- 4 x images: 147 x 83 px
Note:when using the online text editor to add or replace any image from the Hobsons image library,check the source code afterwardsfor the img
tag:
- to make sure it has not added width and height attributes in pixels
- to add the code
style="width:100%; display:block; height:auto; margin:0 auto;"
These are needed to make the images responsive. Your code should look like this:
<img width="100%" src="https://static.brookes.ac.uk/email/dh-images/student-life1-banner7.jpg" style="width:100%; display:block; height:auto; margin:0 auto;" border="0" alt="More than studying" />
Icons / thumbnails:
- should be a fixed size that works for both desktop and mobile viewing
- The optimum size to make them is 150 x 150 pixels
Your code should look like this:
<img src="http://static.brookes.ac.uk/email/dh-images/icon-courses.gif" width="150px" alt="Courses">
Icons
This is the full current range of icons designed and uploaded to Hobsons. If you need others, please contact the Web Team.

This is the full current range of icons designed and uploaded to Hobsons. If you need others, please contact the Web Team.
These icons are already uploaded to Hobsons, so you can use the online text editor to add them from the Hobsons image library, from a folder called "Icons".
Alternatively, you can copy and paste the code directly from here.
If you upload the from the image library, you will need to add the alt
text yourself. Alt text is needed to describe the image contents if a user's email is set to not display images by default.
Note: these icons have a transparent background. Google Mail copies email images to it's own servers, compressing them to a lower quality. Using a transparent background means there is no discrepency in colour between images and HTML / CSS colours.
Social media channels
The full range of University social media channels, should specific email campaigns require them.
