Email Inspiration from Codecademy
Codecademy keeps it clean and focused with a soft color palette, crisp typography, and HTML text that boosts accessibility. The 3-step layout guides readers clearly, and CTAs in bright purple and yellow stand out without overwhelming. We love the balance of helpful visuals and concise copy—it’s a smart nudge to dive right into coding.
