To change width you have to skim through all of them. If you want a 800px width and you are default is at 600px, then you have to go through 610px, 620px, 790px and then reach 800px.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about the product and billing.

No, Stripo is an email design platform that can be integrated with various email service providers.

You can design an email on Stripo and send it via the email service providers integrated with the platform. To send mass emails, prefer using Stripo alternatives like Mailmodo for a better inbox placement rate and higher deliverability rate.

Stripo is used for designing effective email templates that engage. However, high spam complaints often redirect users to Stripo alternatives like Mailmodo. Mailmodo offers domain warmup and expert consultations with deliverability experts to increase conversions via email.

You can try Constant Contact for 60 days for free if you’re living in the US. If you’re outside of the US, you can try it for free for a month to send 2,400 emails monthly to 100 contacts. But only on the condition that you share your payment details upfront. After a month, you’re upgraded to the paid plan, which can be expensive for companies just starting out. On the other hand, Constant Contact alternatives like Mailmodo are more affordably priced.

We recommend you to use Constant Contact if you run events and want to manage registrations and invitations via email marketing. But we don’t recommend the tool for businesses that need advanced automation. They offer basic automations but flexible and sophisticated automation workflows are missing. Instead, Constant Contact alternatives like Mailmodo offer custom multistep automations at a more affordable price. Mailmodo also had a way better price-performance ratio, as compared to Constant Contact.

A common complaint among Constant Contact users is that they often have to ask their customers to whitelist their emails to ensure they’re receiving newsletters. The IPs from Constant Contact are found in many blacklisted databases such as Mxtoolbox. Constant Contact’s high spam rate can deter you from achieving good email deliverability.To go spam free and achieve better deliverability, we suggest using Mailmodo. We provide you domain warmup, quality product support, no spammy contacts, and abundant expert consultations.
