Newsletter Design
Newsletter design is a craft of its own. Email clients are the last browsers where 2010s markup still rules, where Outlook renders on a Word engine, and where a CSS bug in the header collapses half the layout. Anyone walking in with the assumption that this is just web design with a different viewport learns quickly. We build email design that looks like your brand in Mailchimp, Brevo, or Klaviyo and survives the old Outlook in the accounting office.
From single send to system
Most brands start with a one-off template. Pretty, used once, then forgotten. We build a modular system instead. Header, hero, editorial block, product grid, CTA strip, quote, footer. Each module is designed in its own right and combines freely, so every send looks like your brand without someone redesigning the template each time.
The setup builds on the visual identity and connects to brand design and brand guidelines. What applies on the website applies in the inbox: same typography, same colors, same voice.
Mailchimp, Brevo, Klaviyo, MAPP
We stay system-agnostic. Mailchimp remains the easiest entry for many smaller brands, Brevo (formerly Sendinblue) is strong with German-speaking B2C, Klaviyo dominates Shopify e-commerce, MAPP is standard at enterprise scale. Which system wins depends on the stack and send volume, not on a favorite.
We build either directly in the ESP or in MJML, a markup standard that produces clean email tables and imports into almost any system. Before launch we run tests through Litmus or Email on Acid against the major clients, then handle setup, a first test send, and a short onboarding for your team. A retainer for seasonal campaigns or new modules is available afterwards.
One for the eye, one for Outlook
Beautiful newsletters get drawn in Figma every day. We build the ones that also work in Outlook 2016 and look right on iPhone.
Modular template over one-off
You get a module library, not a single template. Header, hero, editorial, product, CTA, footer. With it you assemble a new send in 30 minutes.
MJML or ESP-native
We build directly in your system (Mailchimp, Brevo, Klaviyo, MAPP) or as MJML source for clean table markup. You choose what fits the stack.
Conversion over send
CTA logic, reading hierarchy, preview text, and subject line structure are part of the work. Newsletter design is more than the pretty wrapper.
Frequently asked
A fully designed modular template with a master and 6 to 10 modules typically lands between € 1,200 and € 2,800. Comprehensive onboarding, animations, multiple language versions, or Klaviyo flows push the range higher.
From briefing to finished template, 2 to 4 weeks is realistic. ESP setup and a first test send included.
Mailchimp, Brevo (formerly Sendinblue), Klaviyo, MAPP, ActiveCampaign, CleverReach, or MJML source for almost any other system. Tell us what is in the stack, we build for it.
Yes. Welcome series, cart abandonment, reactivation, and birthday emails get concept and design. Automation itself runs in the ESP, with setup handled by us or your team after onboarding.
Yes. Studio Rotstich is remote first, briefings and reviews run on video. Clients sit in Frankfurt, Vienna, Hamburg, Munich. On-site sessions across the DACH region are possible when a kickoff benefits from being in the room.
