Octopus Energy

Rebuilding templates with semantic markup

Octopus Energy had over 150 emails relying on a handful of templates, all of which needed to be rebuilt using the correct markup

Outside of the email development, I also created a Storybook which went into detail about the do’s and don’ts of creating emails, as well as template specific rules to follow.

Complete template overhaul

Email sending at Octopus didn’t use an ESP but was connected to their own interface called Kraken.

The master template held all the necessary with blocks being imported based on the need. Using Python would generate the emails for testing and upload

Storybook documentation

As part of the contract, I wrote up documentation mostly specific to Octopus on best practices and tips for eail development.

The documentation is highly sensitive so no preview is available, but I’ve written a truncated blog on best practices here.

The results

Octopus Energy now have solid, accessible emails and documentations that give solid foundations to independently build and maintain all their communications going forward
