Default Modifying a Constant Contact Template
A client would like a constant contact template to match her site. I can edit it in NVU, but does anyone know a good source for blank CC templates? They all look so out of the box.

Has anyone done this with this service before? Thanks in advance!

As you have no doubt found, Constant Contact is extremely limiting. I have made banners and backgrounds in PhotoShop and imported them as images. That has been the only way to make it less generic for my clients.

Thanks, Tamika! At least I know it's not just me! I'll work on banners. Do you personally use something else now?

I'm not sure which aspect of your client's website you are trying to recreate. If it involves a lot of graphics then you will need to create and save as images as Tamika said. If you are trying to pick up a color scheme from the website and don't have the color codes, try using Color Cop. The basic version is free and has really helped me to customize color schemes and pick up on new colors that I like and want to try.
You could also try starting with the Basic templates and getting creative. And you can create from scratch if you are html literate (I am not). Click on the "Use My Own Code" link at the bottom of the templates menu if you want to go that route.
Good Luck,

I would LOVE to create my own.. not HTML literate enough to do that just yet.

Please remember that everything you customize will need to be an image and so you client will likely need to have an account that allows for more than 5 images.
