Creating an Image with Text Overlay


This method is used in several of our Sample Templates and it might be you want to change the background picture by uploading a new picture to the Row, and editing the text. To create a new Template with Image and text overlay, follow the steps below.


Whether you are creating a template with a background picture for the whole email, or if you want a smaller picture with text written over it, you must use the Upload Image under the ROW Properties. This is because you want to add the Content of Text on top of the picture. For Background Images, see Create Background Images. For smalller pictures, follow the steps below.


1. From the Template Listing Screen, select the green “New Email Template”. Name your template and give it a Subject.

2. Select your Body Background Color, Font, and Content Width.



  1. Click Blocks and Click on the Single Block and drag to the top Center of your Template. If you want the picture to the right or left choose a Double Block option.




  1. On the Right Tool Bar, scroll down to Row Properties and you will see an option to Upload an Image. Be sure this is the ROW  Properties and not CONTENT!
