Let's talk about everyone's favorite love-hate relationship: email design. If you've ever spent hours fighting with HTML tables or trying to make an email look decent across different clients, you know the pain. But here's the good news: a new wave of tools is making email design actually... fun? (Yes, I said it!)

Today, I'm sharing five tools that are revolutionizing how we create emails. Whether you're a marketer who breaks out in hives at the mention of HTML or a developer looking to speed up your workflow, there's something here for you.
