Everyone loves the idea of sending great emails, but actually building them is another story. You start with good intentions, then end up wrestling with layouts, fixing tiny spacing issues, and testing across a bunch of clients to make sure nothing breaks.
So when the Maizzle team told me they were working on something new to make this whole process easier, I was ready to try it out right away! To give you a little back story we've used Maizzle for our weekly Laravel newsletter for a few years now and the team is awesome.
Mailviews is their fresh take on building production-ready HTML emails with Tailwind CSS. Instead of digging through old templates or trying to piece things together by hand, you get a big library of ready-to-use components and layouts that you can customize however you need.
Here’s a quick look at what’s inside:
- 140+ components
- Over 600 variants
- HTML, Maizzle, Tailwind CSS sources
- A drag and drop builder for putting everything together
What stood out to me is how easy it is to grab exactly what you need. Whether you’re building a simple announcement, a marketing email, or a full ecommerce layout, most of the common pieces are already there. You can mix and match without feeling like you’re fighting the template.
And then there’s the Builder, that helps you quickly stack components and export a layout that you can then download and edit text/images locally or in your email service provider.
HTML Email Template Builder
The Builder lets you drag in components to create your email visually, then export clean HTML when you’re done. It's super quick and a fantastic way to get started quickly.
Email Templates
Mailviews Templates are kits that you download as .zip files, with various prebuilt layouts for specific industries. The first one is coming soon in early December, an ecommerce template for product drops and seasonal campaigns with more in the plans.
Mailviews Pricing
Mailviews has a free tier if you want to test things out. And if you want the full library, they offer a lifetime license that includes everything available today plus future updates. They’re also running a Black Friday sale with up to 50 percent off the team license, which is a solid deal if you build emails often.
