# How do Constant Contact users match a detailed brand layout when templates reach their customisation edge?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Been comparing notes on how <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/constant-contact/reviews">Constant Contact</a> users match a detailed brand layout when templates reach their customisation edge. The practical answer is to get close with a template and the drag-and-drop editor, then adjust spacing and fonts by hand and check every send in the mobile preview, which is where layout differences show up. Highly custom brand layouts and some mobile formatting are where that edge appears, so a strict brand guide usually means accepting a close match or spending a little extra time per send. Where Constant Contact stands out is speed to a professional result: templates and the editor produce a polished layout in minutes, and the email and mobile preview confirms how it displays on each device before it goes out.</p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">For <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/email-marketing">email marketing</a> at a small business, the situations seem to split three ways:</p><ol>
<li>No brand guide, or a light one. The templates cover it fully.</li>
<li>A brand with set colours, fonts and a logo. Templates get close, with some manual spacing.</li>
<li>A detailed brand guide with a specific layout. This is where people reach the edge.</li>
</ol><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Constant Contact clearly suits the first two, which is most small businesses, and pairs that with dependable delivery and tracking at volume. Going by G2 reviews, the third group is mainly teams with a designer who would like more control.</p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">How close did you get to your own brand layout? And which part of your brand guide was the hardest to carry into a template?</p>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;For anyone with a strict brand guide, do you build one master template and duplicate it, or start from the presets each time?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
