Who said CSS frameworks are just for websites? Maizzle uses Tailwind CSS, so you can quickly code beautiful HTML emails.
Utility-first CSS
Tailwind CSS provides low-level utility classes that help you style HTML emails much faster and with better control than writing inline CSS.
Powerful modifiers
Use modifiers like hover:bg-blue-500 or sm:w-full to easily add hover effects or style responsive emails - no more context switching.
Make it your own
Easily create or bring in your own Email Design System, keeping everyone in your email team on-brand.
