What makes a good email signature
Every email you send is a small introduction. A good signature answers three questions at a glance — who you are, what you do and how to reach you — and nothing more. Keep it to four or five lines, use one accent colour, and link to a page that tells the rest of your story.
- Link your personal website instead of listing every social profile.
- One phone number is enough; add WhatsApp only if you use it for work.
- Avoid images of text — many email apps block images, and the signature disappears.
- A small round photo helps people put a face to your name. For Gmail, link to a photo hosted on your website; uploaded photos work best in Outlook and Apple Mail.
