Tied to revenue - Personal
I AM NOT A MARKETER - Best ROI - Outperforms
social media - Compliments social media
PERSONAL
I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people
will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. “ ” - Maya Angelou http://www.mayaangelou.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/mayaremembered-slider.jpg

Web 1. Preprocess 2. Build 3. Deploy 4. Preprocess 5. Client Email
Email Client Preprocessors - Sneaky disguised horse feathers - People
talking on their cellphone in the bathroom evil - Evil worse than a dragon - Not cute - Not funny - Not clever
Disclaimer I make bad decisions.
Webmail Decisions Do not support linked CSS. - CSS has
to be in a <style> tag in the doc
It's not a bug... #perf,yo
Gmail’s Decision Support CSS in a <style> tag most of
the time. - CSS has to be inline - No hover events - No media queries - And more! (of less)

Obligatory MS Joke Microsoft
Outlook’s Decision Render HTML and CSS using Microsoft Word -
No box model - Support for word processor styles only
Tables aren’t a Lie! For reals this time

BEATING THE BAD - Use tables for markup - Apply
basic layout CSS to <table> - Apply text/spacing styles to <td> - Apply critical CSS inline - Apply enhancement CSS to <style> - Use padding, not margin
THE GREAT - The Community - Shared Code - Tools
