== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Do I need an external third-party email account to get started? =
No. You can go live in minutes using your WordPress server's built-in PHP mail or your own Custom SMTP settings. Premium integrations are optional if you want higher volume or delivery analytics.

= Is any technical or coding knowledge required? =
Not at all. The interface relies completely on WordPress blocks, letting you visually modify design aspects, backgrounds, layouts, and typography down to the pixel.

= Can I test emails before sending them to my entire subscriber list? =
Yes! The plugin features a built-in "Send Test Email" tool, allowing you to review your subject lines, links, and design inside an actual mobile or desktop inbox prior to deployment.

= Are the template layouts fully responsive? =
Absolutely. Over half of modern email traffic happens on mobile platforms. Every layout is responsive right out of the box so that your emails maintain a clean, readable display across all screen sizes.
