# Agency Email Signature Maker

1. Open `agency-signature-maker.html` in a browser. Enter the agency name and staff member's actual name, title, and verified email address. Independently confirm the mailbox is active, then check the confirmation box. The maker does not verify mailbox availability.
2. Optionally enter an HTTPS website and a public HTTPS logo URL. Expand **Optional details** for a photo URL, phone numbers, appointment and other links, and verified license or legal text. Leave unused fields blank. Host images with your agency or image provider; this tool does not upload or store them. Public image and link URLs must be accessible to recipients; a logo or photo host can see image requests when the signature is viewed.
3. Expand **Brand colors** to select colors or enter hex values such as `#123c52` or `#123`. Invalid hex values prevent copying or downloading until corrected. A contrast notice flags potentially difficult-to-read text and links. **Reset colors** restores the starting palette without clearing agency or staff details.
4. Choose **Copy full signature**, then paste the rendered signature into Outlook. If it is selected rather than copied, press Ctrl+C (Command+C on Mac), then paste. Alternatively, download the finished signature HTML, open it in a browser, and copy the rendered signature. Do not paste the source.
5. In **new Outlook**, open Settings → Accounts → Signatures. In **classic Outlook**, start a new email and choose Signature → Signatures. Save the full signature for new messages and a separate short reply signature for replies and forwards. Menu names vary by version; see Microsoft's instructions (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/mail/how-to-add-and-change-an-email-signature-in-outlook).
6. Download contact (.vcf) creates a local contact card. To show a **Save contact** link inside emails, provide a public HTTPS URL to a hosted contact card. Downloading it does not publish it. Mobile apps may need separate setup; use plain text when formatting is unsupported. Send a test to a colleague and check details, links, images, and formatting on desktop and mobile, including with images blocked.

The maker does not store or submit your entries. Only provided logo and photo URLs cause image requests; email and phone values stay in the page until you copy or download them. Mailbox availability and delivery require separate confirmation.
