# Designing messages with a drag-and-drop editor
The Drag & Drop email creator makes it easy to create your own email templates by intuitively dragging and placing elements in the desired places in the creation.
### Adding lines
1. To start creating a template, first go to the Row tab in the creator.
2. Choose a suitable row layout, such as one column, two columns or a more complex layout.
3. Drag the selected row to the workspace where you are building your template.
### Adding elements
1. After inserting a line, choose from the available options what you want to put in the line, for example:
* Image
* Icon
* Text
* Button: Place a Call to Action button and customize its text, color and link.
* HTML code: If you have a ready-made code, you can paste it into an HTML block to advance customize your template.
2. Each of these elements can be freely moved, edited and customized in the creation.
### Modifying elements
1. Click on the selected item to open its properties and customize it:
* Background color: You can set any background color for the whole block or individual sections.
* Font: Edit the text by changing the font size, type, color and alignment.
* Link color: If you create hyperlinks, you can customize their color to make them more visible or to match the rest of the design.
* Linking elements: Images, buttons and text can be easily linked to external sites by adding the appropriate URL.
### Adapting the view to mobile devices
Check and edit the layout for mobile devices, making sure everything is readable and well laid out on smartphones.
