- Deliverability Best Practices
Hi, I'm Linley Bignoux. If you have a custom design that needs to be converted into bulletproof code tailored exactly to your campaigns, I can help.
I solve issues with deliverability, functionality, accessibility, and UI/UX across different email clients. I am an email developer with over 6 years of email development experience.
What I Actually Help You Fix
Broken Outlook Layouts
Stop fighting Ghost Tables. I ensure your custom designs render perfectly across Outlook 2013-2021.
Mobile Responsiveness
Say goodbye to microscopic text. I code fluid, mobile-first emails that scale perfectly on every device.
Dark Mode Disasters
Stop iOS from ruining your brand colors. I apply targeted CSS to control how Dark Mode inverts your emails.
Deliverability Best Practices
Stop landing in the spam folder. I ensure your code follows strict semantic rules and optimal text-to-image ratios for maximum inbox placement.
Gmail Clipping
Keep it under 102KB. I minify and optimize all HTML code so your entire message gets delivered and read.
Design Translation
Pixel-perfect precision. I turn your flat UI/UX designs into living, breathing, clickable email templates.
Rendering Bugs
Move away from "hope it works." Every file is rigorously QA-tested across 50+ major email clients before handoff.
Workflow Bottlenecks
Stop missing campaign deadlines because your drag-and-drop builder is acting up or limiting your layout.
Clunky Handoffs
Just copy, paste, and send. I deliver clean, documented HTML ZIP files ready for immediate ESP upload.
Functionality
Ensure interactive elements, anchor links, and complex structural components work flawlessly across all major email clients.
ESP Integration Issues
Stop wrestling with platform-specific HTML editors. I ensure your code imports cleanly into Klaviyo, Mailchimp, and other ESPs without breaking.
Dynamic Personalization
I code and safely integrate dynamic merge tags to personalize your campaigns, ensuring specific customer data renders flawlessly every time.

What I Often SEE
- The Outlook Nightmare: You have a beautiful design, but Outlook destroys the margins.
- The Drag-and-Drop Limit: Your builder simply won't let you place a button exactly where you want it.
- The Mobile Mess: The desktop email looks great, but mobile users have to pinch and zoom to read it.
- The Missing Data: You tried coding custom logic, but the dynamic tags keep breaking.
- The Ghost Developer: You hired a general web developer who didn't understand that email CSS works entirely differently.
- The Clipped Message: Your email is so full of bloated code that Gmail hides the bottom half.
- The In-House Bottleneck: Your internal team is too busy with web projects to code a massive newsletter campaign.
