Most beginners think professional email design requires advanced software, custom HTML, or expensive layout tools. But Brevo eliminates that complexity by offering one of the cleanest, most efficient built-in editors for creating professional-grade email layouts. With guided blocks, responsive structures, consistent spacing, and intelligent styling rules, Brevo allows anyone to build polished layouts without writing a single line of code. This Email Service Hub guide explains how to use Brevo’s built-in tools to design layouts that look sharp, read well, perform consistently across devices, and meet the inbox standards required for better deliverability.
Most subscribers don’t remember colors or decorations — they remember clarity. If your layout is smooth, readable, and organized, the message becomes easier to understand and the CTA becomes easier to act on. Brevo’s design system is built around layout consistency rather than visual exaggeration. This is what helps small businesses look more polished without hiring designers.
Good layouts achieve four outcomes:
Brevo’s built-in tools help you achieve this even if you're designing emails for the first time.
Brevo’s editor is built on responsive blocks that behave consistently across all inbox providers. Each block is created with deliverability and readability in mind, ensuring your layout is structured safely for real-world inbox environments.
With these basic tools, anyone can build professional templates optimized for conversions and readability.
Single-column templates are the gold standard for professional email layouts. They are readable, well-structured, and perform better on mobile. Brevo encourages single-column design to ensure all sections appear polished and properly aligned.
Professional layouts begin with simplicity, and Brevo provides that foundation by default.
Spacing is what transforms a “basic” layout into a professional one. Most beginners underestimate the power of whitespace. Brevo’s drag-and-drop spacing blocks help ensure your sections breathe naturally.
Good spacing increases professionalism more than any graphic element ever will.
Brevo uses safe, email-compatible fonts with clean line spacing. This helps maintain structure across different email clients.
Typography is a huge part of professionalism, and Brevo gets this right.
Brevo lets you use two-column and three-column layouts, but what makes them professional is their mobile behavior. Brevo automatically stacks columns vertically on smaller screens to maintain readability.
Columns, used properly, elevate the structure of your email while keeping it accessible.
Buttons are the most important element in a professional layout. Brevo’s buttons are responsive, clean, and highly visible without being overly decorative.
Brevo’s button blocks help you build CTAs that look polished and encourage clicks.
Professional emails don’t divide sections with loud patterns or thick lines. Brevo provides thin, soft dividers that separate content gently. This maintains elegance without distracting the reader.
Professional layouts don’t rely heavily on images. Brevo supports lightweight visuals that don’t break formatting or slow down loading.
Clean visuals support a professional layout without overwhelming it.
A professional email must have a clean footer with proper compliance details. Brevo automatically includes ready-made footer blocks designed for transparency and trust.
A good footer completes the professional layout and prevents compliance problems.
Brevo’s built-in tools generate lightweight HTML. This is important because heavy HTML often triggers spam filters. Professional layouts are not only about aesthetics — they directly affect inbox placement.
If you want your emails to look professional without using external design software, Brevo’s built-in tools offer everything you need. The editor is intuitive, predictable, and optimized for clean structures. For small businesses, creators, educators, and service providers, Brevo provides the easiest path to polished layouts that support higher engagement and better deliverability.
