UIUC Professional Email Signature Template

This repository contains an HTML-based email signature template designed to comply with the UIUC Email Signature Guidelines. It allows you to easily create a professional, branded email signature by simply copying and editing the source code.

Here’s an example of how your email signature will look once rendered:

How to Use

1. Copy and Paste HTML Code

   • Open main.html in your favorite HTML editor.
   • For those who are not familiar with HTML, you can use an online HTML editor like htmlcodeeditor.com to paste and preview the code. You can also edit it directly in your own IDE or code editor.

2. Edit the Signature

   • Replace the placeholder text with your own information (e.g., name, title, phone number, etc.).
   • Change the links (social media, website, etc.) to your own.
   • Delete any elements that are not relevant to your signature (such as social media icons or job titles).

3. Copy and Paste Into Your Email Client

   • If your email service allows HTML signatures, simply copy the HTML code and paste it into the signature section of your email client.
   • If HTML insertion is not supported, you can copy and paste the rendered preview (the final appearance of the signature).

Features

• Professional Formatting: The signature template follows the official UIUC brand guidelines for email signatures.
• Responsive Design: The email signature is designed to look great on all devices.
• UIUC Blue GitHub Icon: The signature includes the GitHub icon styled with UIUC's blue color.
• Customizable: You can easily replace text, links, and icons to personalize the signature.

Why Use HTML for Email Signatures?

• Precision: Using HTML allows for greater control over styles (e.g., font size, text color, icon size) compared to using plain text or an image.
• Version Control: You can easily track changes and updates to your email signature with Git.
• Consistency: Ensures that your signature looks the same across all email clients and devices.

Why Host the Icon Online?

• Bypass Image Blockers: Hosting the icon online prevents issues with email clients that block embedded images.
• Faster Load Time: When hosted online, the image is served from a remote server, reducing email size and improving load times.
