The Designer

The Designer is a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editor that lets you create templates for Print and Email. A template may contain designs for multiple output channels: a letter intended for print and an e-mail variant of the same message, for example. Content, like the body of the message or letter, can be shared across these contexts. Templates are personalized using scripts and variable data. More advanced users may edit the underlying HTML, CSS and JavaScript directly.
