New Mailchimp template

Hello,

I need a Mailchimp pro who knows Mailchimp templates back to front and inside out to update and iron out some issues with my current Mailchimp template. I've had several people amend it but it's still not working as I need it to.

Here's a link to my current email template:

I suggest it may be easier to start again, using the same look and design, which I like, and of course using my brand. Here is the list of the 8 changes I need:

1. Mailchimp edit function, top text box: I'd like the blue edit background changed to white in the edit box on the right-hand side - so that it's a mirror image of what you are typing. Distracting in blue. This only seems to appear when editing the top text box.

2. Hyperlinks, top text box: I'd like the hyperlinks I insert into the main body copy edit box to show up automatically, and obviously, as blue, underlined hyperlinks. Currently, they show as hyperlinked in the edit box but don't show up as hyperlinks in the actual email template on the left-hand side.

3. Insert LinkedIn and Twitter buttons underneath my signature - these have disappeared.

4. Insert header box above articles with header "This month's articles" in my brand blue.

5. Insert "Read more" button underneath each article - filled, coloured blue (my brand blue) button with white text.

6. Need ability to easily insert a new article section that is identical to the layout of the other articles. Very fiddly currently - how is this set up at the moment?

7. Insert "Check this out" box underneath my articles and before Events section. Needs on-brand image, right-aligned and perhaps the box can have a washed out colour from my colour palette. I need to be able to add new text here each month.

8. Insert my photo and some text about me as an image file in top "Welcome" section - positioned on right-hand side of box.


I need the final template ready for Friday 23rd September so please only bid if you can definitely meet this deadline.

Regarding the images created, if this is not in your skillset I can get these done elsewhere. The main skill I am looking for is expertise with Mailchimp templates.

Please provide a fixed price or hourly rate, together with your estimate of how long this work will take.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes,

Abby
