Welcome to our new site
Today I couldn’t be more excited to see our new site and brand out in the wild. For the last six months our very own Buzz Usborne has been working like a crazy man to pull all of this together. As well as a totally new brand, which he’ll share more about soon, we’ve completely rethought the structure of the site to make things easier to find.
Massive resources overhaul
We’ve simplified our resources section with a fresh new design that makes it easy to find what you’re looking for. This includes an awesome new Will it Work section collating all our research on what does and doesn’t work in HTML email in one place.
All new guides
We’ve converted our popular Sitepoint book on email marketing (which has sold more than 16,000 copies) into a set of 6 free guides on everything from planning an email campaign, designing, coding and even how designers can sell email marketing services to their clients. We've got a few more additions to this section in the pipeline right now.
Beautiful new email gallery
Our email gallery is all about showcasing the amazing design talent of our customers. Over the last 8 years (scary but true) this has grown to include more than 650 inspiring examples of just how beautiful HTML emails can be. The new gallery is now a pleasure to browse as a grid of thumbnails with infinite scroll. You can even browse by type, such as newsletters or invitations and layout, such as single or two column.
See who you’re talking to
Our new-look FAQ and customer forums make it easy to get your questions answered, but when you need to speak to someone, we now show you who is online and where they’re based in real-time. We pride ourselves on providing super fast 24 hour support from 10 different cities worldwide. Now you can see exactly who is available to help, and from where.
Take a look around
There really is too much good stuff to include in one post. From the mobile optimized blog, a better way to meet the team, to the best looking customer forums on the planet, there are improvements to just about every corner of the site. Take a look around, let us know if you spot anything that’s broken (it’s going to happen) and please, let Buzz know what you think of all his hard work in the comments.

Awesome job guys!

Congratulations on the refresh guys, lovely work. Also digging the ‘will it work?’ info and updated resources. Great thinking.

Looks good, but very new and some things are quite odd (logo switching the side). Think I will get used to it.
But: Please go back to full post RSS feeds. I loved to get the images of the great newsletters directly in my RSS reader, now it’s just some shorter part of the post content :(
21st June
Thanks for the kind words guys, it’s so nice to have this live after all of Buzz’s hard work this year.
@Jan, good call on the RSS feed, we’ll look at reverting this back to include the full post. Hope you’re digging the new gallery too.

The new /css section is awesome
21st June
Yep, top notch work! :)

Hey Campaign Monitor, what can I say? An inspiration as always. Loving the new look.
21st June
Awesome cool makeover! The colour palette is really inviting, heaps better font size on articles and the dynamic content of the Features > Social page is sweeeet.
21st June
Great work! As I suspected quality work from a quality company.
21st June
We can see all the hard work, man. Congratulations.

Newism did a great job building out the last site in Expression Engine. Did you keep the same CMS or was this a complete rebuild from the ground up?
22nd June
Absolutely stunning, Dave! Congrats to Buzz and the entire team, you can tell a lot of thought and hard work went in to this redesign.
22nd June
Working my way through the Guides section - great job. One criticism is that the light body text color wears on the ol’ peepers after extended reading. Any chance of bringing it down a shade or two?
22nd June
When you go to the website from an iPhone, it goes to the mobile theme. There’s no way to get to the full site, which is a pain. So now I get to see the site as designed only when on a desktop computer. Please give people the option.
22nd June
Looking fresh!

@Stuart, we kept the same CMS (and just upgraded EE) for the blog, gallery and integrations sections. The rest of the site is either static or powered by a simple in-house solution. because we’ve got a lot of design skills in-house, we stuck with largely static so we can have as much design flexibility as we want across the site.
@Jeremy, right now the blog and gallery are the only section of the site optimized for mobile. There is no views to switch between, we just provide a nice reading experience for the blog and gallery but show the full desktop version for the rest of the site. This was more of an experiment than anything else, and we’ve built the site in a way that we can add more responsiveness where it makes sense over time.

Sorry, not impressed.
As far as design is concerned, the CM has always done awesome work. So this latest piece of awesomeness is just in line with the standard awesomeness.
Now, if your design had been integrated via an intergalactinc API on a far away planet.. then yes, that would have been impressive. Time to get your space suits out of the closet.

Sabrina wants to marry CM ! She either needs to get out more often or stop stalking web sites :) As a virgin user of CM I must admit I love it - but I prefer red heads so marriage is not an option. Well done to CM on another great Aussie product. AB
22nd June
Congrats. Absolutely stunning across the board.
22nd June
Looks awesome! Congrats!

Loving the headline typeface and the spaciousness, and i’m amazed you’ve been able to do something with an envelope icon, i thought all possibilities had been exhausted sometime mid last decade. Lovely stuff!
22nd June
Awsome work…
23rd June
Site looks great!
Noticed the Twitter logo isn’t the most up to date version.
23rd June
Beautiful work. Love the way the design was shaped around the content and not vice versa. You can really tell care was put into all the pages.
23rd June
Good work CM team.
26th June
Stellar design. Every decision seems to have been thoroughly considered and brilliantly implemented. Well done.
26th June
I second the comment about the body text color being too light. Both for the full site and the mobile.
26th June
Problem: switching my iPhone from portrait to landscape a few times prevents me from zooming out in landscape. Looks like the device-scale is set in landscape or something.
Beautiful and fresh redesign.
28th June
Holy Toledo Batman! Stunning work, Dave & Co… now my next few weeks of being productive are shot because I’ll be wrapping my head around this beautiful site. So many brilliant discoveries to make all over the place. At the moment, digging the logo switcharoo rollover at the top and bottom, the new field guides, and the words “mumbo jumbo”— so much to smile about!
28th June
@TwitterLOGO The little bird has been updated all over the site now - took a while to get his little beak right at that size :)
@Armistead Glad you’re liking the subtle touches - I’m planning on writing a post soon about some of the little ‘easter eggs’ around the site
3rd July
Very nice! Can we expect a similar redesign for the dashboard soon too? :)
4th July
Hey there Luc! While we don’t have a full-tilt redesign in mind, keep an eye out for lots of handy incremental changes in the coming months. The app, it is a changin’...
12th July
Great redesign. Hope you get great results.
12th July
I agree with MarinDG and Jason - main text color is too light!
I have to invert my screen colors to even be able to read it with decent contrast. Please fix, thanks!
17th July
Was your logo inspired by this guy? Or vice versa? http://marshallbock.com/
22nd July
Have I already said that I love Campaign Monitor? The new design is beautiful.
That said, for the third time now I have looked for the home link. Can’t get the right-hand side home logo into my little head.
And that grey text? Probably looks ace on your screens ...
