# Deliver Designer Overview

Use **Deliver Designer** to create reusable email components and templates. Mailing authors can use these templates to create messages that follow your branding.

> [!NOTE]
> 🔑 **Required permissions:** [Deliver](/v1/docs/system-permissions#deliver), Deliver Templates

## Components, templates, and mailings

1. Create **components**, such as a header, footer, logo, or button.
2. Add HTML and **variables** to each component. Variables provide values such as text, colors, and fonts.
3. Arrange components and HTML content in a **template**. Choose which content mailing authors can customize.
4. Create a **mailing** from the template and configure its message content.
