# Best Practices

### Alignment

Alignment of your content is #1 most important item on how beautiful your email will look. Make sure things are nicely aligned.

{% hint style="danger" %}
It's a very common mistake to center-align text blocks. Centered text is uneasy on the eye and makes the text difficult to read. Reserve center-alignments **only for headings.**

### Use Beautiful Pictures

Using pictures in your emails always adds flavor and life. Using high-quality professional photos for your listings makes a massive difference.

Rechat's **Image Library** block offers a convenient method for finding high-quality, freely-usable photos from the amazing [Unsplash](https://unsplash.com/) library.

### Test the Mobile View

Once you're happy with your content, it's always a good idea to check how your email looks in a mobile view. Rechat makes it super easy to do so.

{% tab title="🎯 Example: Test your email in Mobile View" %}
On top of the page, there is a **Phone** icon to the right of the computer screen icon. Click on it.\
The page will shrink down to size of a generic cell phone, showing you how it will look on a smaller device.\
To go back to desktop view, click on the **Screen** icon. Make sure your email looks good on both a phone and a computer.
