Hi Guys,

Hope someone can help out, I have no HTML skill set and looking at the Marketo Templates seems like it's very limited. Does Marketo have more templates and where can I find them? or can I purchase 'Marketing Email Templates' from Envato and import them.

All ideas and suggestions are welcomed.

My team and I had the same problem. We found a program that was very cheap and agile. BeeFree.io  We now create all our emails in BeeFree and transfer the HTML into Marketo. It is an extra step, but the end result is much better than the standard templates offered by Marketo.

We had the same issue — Marketo templates are difficult to customize and aren't particularly responsive. We researched and found a product called Knak (knak.io), which we love! It's really easy to buy pre-made templates or build your own. The templates sync directly to Marketo, so there's no need to download from a product and upload to Marketo. Plus, they have really responsive customer service. We've received really positive feedback since we implemented Knak templates!

Do you have any issues with these BeeFree templates rendering incorrectly in Outlook?

Adam, you may be the saving grace my friend I jumped on BeeFree and wow totally impressed and love the fact they even have a free option. You can also pay as high as $25 monthly for a Pro Account also (unsure of the perks as yet). Coming from a non-technical person with zero HTML skill sets this product looks like it's going to do the job for us. Will share more on an update with everyone once I have had my first user experience.

Glad I could help.

We have the Pro version. For $25 a month we get two user IDs to sign in and work at the same time and they save a set amount of templates we can reference (we created the templates). They also save our previous emails so we can go back and essentially clone them and rework them for new emails.

Love it mate, I just uploaded my first template and have to say works perfectly. $25p/m is absolutely money worthwhile spending. I have been quoted in excess of $10K for one template and must admit very expensive consultation services (all because I have no HTML) glad companies like BeeFree.io is out there making a change.

BEE is an inexpensive option that has a good WYSIWYG editor for creating non-Marketo formatted HTML email code. Just keep in mind there is a few things you'll need to do to the code in order to send it out through Marketo effectively.

We used Email Monks to design a huge master template for us. Depending on how much advanced design you need they can be really cost effective, and I found them extremely helpful when it came to amends to the template.

Thanks, Kathryn had a chat with the team earlier this week seems like a good option.

Your best bet is to use an outside agency that specializes in Marketo template design/coding: https://nation.marketo.com/message/187302-re-any-agencies-creating-email-templates

We use Knak for templates, they are easy to use and have quite a few to choose from. I think we've been using them for about 3 years now and have had a good experience.

We just started with Knak about a month ago - and my first template took maybe an hour just to learn--now it's so fast! And their customer support is incredibly helpful. They specifically started the company to fill the niche need for templates as the founders have been longtime Marketo users.

We also use Knak and have been really happy with their templates and the ease of working with them.
