An HTML business email signature should include: your name, position within the organization, company name, company logo, your and company contact details (phone, email, web address).

How to create HTML email signature for iPhone or iPad
As I said above, first you need to make the HTML signature (if you already have it, you can skip this part of the tutorial).
Create the HTML signature
In my example I did a HTML email signature for iPhone something simpler, which includes: picture (or company logo), social network icons with link, name and surname, function, phone number, email address and web address.
If you want to start from this model of the signature, the HTML code is as follows:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Email Signature</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Montserrat">
<style type="text/css">
img { outline: none; text-decoration: none; border: none; }
p { margin: 0px !important; }
a { color: #000 !important; text-decoration:none !important; }
@media only screen and (max-width: 480px) {
.heading-one {
font-size:16px !important;
line-height:18px !important;
}
.heading-two {
font-size:12px !important;
line-height:14px !important;
}
.paragraph {
font-size:10px !important;
line-height:11px !important;
}
}
href>a { color:#000; text-decoration: none !important; text-decoration: none; }
</style>
</head>

</html>The easiest is to create a folder for the signature. You copy this code into a text or HTML editor, then modify it with your data. At the end you save it with the extension .html.
Next to the HTML file you create the folder img in which you include the graphic elements. Picture and icons. You identify these elements in your HTML code. Example: <img src="img/icon-email-10.png".../>.
After you've customized your signature, open the HTML file in your browser. The result should be similar to the image at the beginning of the tutorial.
How to add HTML signature for iPhone or iPad
For the signature to be open and readable by recipients, it must be hosted on a web server or service cloud which allows you to upload HTML files and graphics.

After the HTML signature has been created and is available online, the next step is to add the HTML signature to your email accounts on your devices iPhone or iPad.
The tutorial is for email accounts added to the app Mail present on all devices iPhone, iPad, Mac.

Don't worry if you notice that in point 3 the text is not legible. The background color will be copied from the HTML signature source. So, if the recipient has the email interface set to a "dark" theme, your message will arrive with a white background.
