Can I use bootstrap for designing HTML Email Templates

Viewed 15228

I need to design an HTML email template which is sent through email to my clients.

I know that for designing an 'html email template':

  • No css files should be linked, all styling should be inline to html.
  • All images should be referenced through online server url and should not be stored locally.

My question is: Can I use bootstrap in html for designing an HTML email without downloading it and linking as a css file locally?

You could use it theoretically, as long as you have some process that inlines styles (if you care about Outlook users), and as long as you only use HTML/CSS that is supported by the majority of email clients.

That being said, there are frameworks specifically created for HTML emails, like the very popular MJML or Foundation for Emails.

If you want to use a CSS framework to create HTML emails, you can also check out Maizzle, which uses the Tailwind CSS framework.
