I would like to change our email template so that we have a column on the left for buttons, such as "Join Now," "Register," etc., as well as a "In this Issue" list of articles. I tried using Tables, but I want the left column to remain in a fixed position, no matter how long the article is in the column on the right.
Can you help me set this up?
NationBuilder gives you complete freedom to customize your email template or build one entirely from scratch. But we also understand that coding an email template can be rather technical, which is why we provide more than ten free email themes to choose from.
For customers who are interested in exploring other email custom theming options, there a number of stunning, free email templates available online.
Using these freely available templates requires editing your email's theme — including interacting with its Liquid variables. If you don't feel comfortable working within the template editor directly, or find that — despite your best efforts — you're unable to generate the outcome you intend, we would recommend contacting one of our certified NationBuilder Architects. NationBuilder Architects are certified designers who will work with you to build and implement your own custom NationBuilder theme, and can be contracted for at an hourly rate.

I am not a programmer, but even I can see you lack some of the most basic tools to accomplish the most simple tasks. My web admin has asked us not to host on your site simply due to the extreme difficulty to bring ANY help in to keep our pages relevant to our clients. I have my website and newsletter hosted on a different service, and the more I try to use you for our Party, the less I want to use you, on top on justifying the added cost. This complaint is 3 years old and you still have this problem. I am thankful for your responsiveness, but the lack of results is speaking volumes.
I am still dishing out money to Mailchimp because NB cannot scratch their quality.
Saying this: NB is lucky that they don’t have any other database program that links to the apps for campaigns.
I even called your number and talked with a woman who just showed me where the HTML code was located. I changed the code to simple things like a background color and saved it and NOTHING HAPPENS. I don’t see a change in your little preview box on a different tab (not in real time on the same tab) and nothing is changed when I send a test email to myself.
How in the world are you still in business?

I’ve spent countless hours reading comments and posts attempting to troubleshoot email template design issues (before ultimately giving up, by the way), so I know I’m not the first to make this observation. But I really would like the concern to be taken seriously and the issue to be resolved to solidify this weak point in the system.
