Email signature management is the process of designing, deploying and updating email signatures across an entire organisation from one place, rather than asking each employee to set up their own.

It covers the signature design itself, rolling it out to every mailbox, keeping job titles and contact details accurate as people join or change roles, and updating campaign banners or legal disclaimers company-wide without touching individual devices.

If you want to see what that looks like in practice, the four-step setup process walks through it end to end.

You will have a first proof within 24 hours of sending your brand assets and staff details. Most standard designs are approved within a few working days, and deployment across the team usually follows in the same week.

Custom designs take a little longer, since they involve additional revision rounds.

Your logo, your brand colours or brand guide, and the contact details you want included. If you already have a signature you like or dislike, send that too — knowing what to avoid is as useful as knowing what to aim for.

For a team rollout we will also need the per-person details: name, job title, phone, and headshot if you are using them.

No. The design is a one-off fee and it is yours. The management platform is optional and billed annually per user — if you only need the signature files, you never have to touch it.

Yes, but only if it is built for it. Each client renders HTML differently: Outlook on Windows uses the Microsoft Word rendering engine, Gmail strips certain CSS, and Apple Mail handles images and scaling on its own terms.

We build with table-based layouts and inline styles, then test across Outlook, Gmail, Apple Mail and mobile before deployment, so what you approve is what your recipients see. That difference is the whole point of the AI-generated versus email-safe comparison on the homepage.

Because they are built with modern web CSS — flexbox, grid, external stylesheets, web fonts. Email clients strip most of that. The result looks perfect in the tool that made it and falls apart in the inbox.

The common failures are the same every time: collapsed layouts in Outlook, images that do not load, fonts that fall back to Times New Roman, and spacing that doubles on mobile.

Yes. Signatures are built to stay legible at mobile widths rather than shrinking to nothing, and are tested on iPhone and Android mail apps as part of the standard process.

Dark mode is handled at design time — logo treatment, background handling and text contrast are all checked so the signature does not turn into a white box floating in a dark thread. You can see a light and dark comparison at the top of the homepage.

That is what the management platform is for. Campaign banners, disclaimers, new branding or a change of office address can be pushed to every mailbox centrally, without asking staff to edit anything themselves.

This matters most for marketing banners, which tend to change monthly, and for legal disclaimers, which need to be consistent across every message the company sends.

Add or remove them in the dashboard and their signature is generated from the template you already approved. No new design work, no asking a new starter to copy and paste something from an email.

Yes. You can assign any approved design to any person, so a sales team can run a campaign banner while the leadership team runs something plainer. Switching a person's template does not touch their content — the per-person detail controls stay as they are.

Yes. Banners and announcement messages can be scheduled to appear and disappear on set dates, which is useful for events, seasonal campaigns and anything with a fixed end date.

A standard branded design is £99 and a fully custom design is £199, both one-off. The optional management platform is £10 per user per year from the second user onwards, which covers centralised updates, banner changes and staff additions.

Full detail on what separates the two design tiers is on the pricing section.

Standard covers a clean professional signature using your logo, brand colours, contact details and standard sections — the right fit for most companies.

Custom is for more complex layouts: more than four custom fields, multiple headshots, accreditation badges, or a bespoke structure that does not fit a conventional signature shape.

Yes. Logos, banners and headshots are hosted for you, which is what stops images breaking when they are pulled from someone's local drive or a link that later expires.

For a design-only order, no. We deliver the signature files with installation instructions for each client, and your team or IT provider installs them.

For centralised management, the deployment method depends on whether you run Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace. We will walk you through the options before anything is connected.

Yes. If your IT provider prefers to handle rollout through Group Policy, a transport rule or their own tooling, we hand over the files and the guidance and stay out of the way.
