developing for html email sounds simple and many front end developers mock, but the reality is you have to kinda go back to coding styles from the early 00's Table based coding, with in-line css for styling. Since Outlook desktop email clients still make up a large chunk to make your emails render properly it's best to keep it clean and old-school. Anything difficult you'll have to lean on mso and vml with ghost tables and so forth because Outlook email clients use Word for their rendering engine and that creates all kinds of havoc... Also Outlook email clients will ignore most css, a solid image can't be longer than 1730 something like that, won't display animated gifs, or background images, or gradients, among other issues, then theirs dark mode, hybrid, responsive, mobile first to think about as well... their are many boilerplates, frameworks, etc you could try, Outlook is supposedly getting a web browser rendering engine but not until the end of 2022 if we are lucky... It is a niche job market but it pays really, really well, here is a course on Udemy that I think explains the best for someone who hasn't done this before but wants to get into it. udemy.com/course/html-email/learn/...
