Free Email Signature Grader — Score Your Signature

Answer ten quick questions about your current signature and get a 0–100 score, with specific fixes benchmarked against the patterns in a 39-template professional design library. Free, no signup, runs entirely in your browser.

The grader scores four areas: what your signature says (content), how reachable you are (contactability), how it looks (design), and rules and consistency (compliance). The interactive scoring runs in the browser; the full questionnaire and benchmarks are below.

1. Does your signature include your full name and job title?

In our template library, the name field appears in 100% of templates and job title in 95% — they are the two fields recipients expect.

• Yes, both
• Only one of them
• Neither

2. How many contact details does your signature list?

Our 39 templates average 4.8 enabled fields with a range of 3–7. Beyond about six fields, the signature starts competing with the email itself.

• 3–6 fields
• 7–8 fields
• 9 or more

3. Is your email address written out in the signature?

38 of our 39 templates include the email address — on mobile, replies and forwards often strip the header, leaving the signature as the only copy.

• Yes
• No

4. Does your signature include a phone number (if you take calls)?

59% of templates include a phone field — the second-most actionable contact detail after email.

• Yes, and calls are part of my work
• Yes, but nobody calls me
• No phone number

5. Which font does your signature use?

Every one of our 12 template font stacks is web-safe. Imported web fonts render inconsistently — Outlook ignores them entirely.

• A web-safe font (Arial, Georgia, Verdana, Times…)
• A web font (Google Fonts, brand font…)
• Not sure

6. How large is the text?

77% of templates use medium text; only 8% use large. Oversized names read as shouting, not confidence.

• Medium / modest
• Large — my name is the biggest element
• Very small

7. How many strong colours does your signature use?

Across our library: one primary hue (blue or near-black in almost half of templates) plus at most one accent. Two competing saturated colours are effectively absent.

• One primary + at most one accent
• Two or more strong colours
• All default black

8. Does your signature rely on images (logo, photo, banner)?

Images are blocked by default in many mail clients. Text must carry the identity on its own; images are enhancement, not structure.

• Yes, but the text alone still works
• Yes — key info lives inside the images
• No images at all

9. Does your role require a legal disclaimer or company registration details?

Regulated industries (law, finance, healthcare, real estate) often require disclaimers. Address blocks appear in 18% of our templates, clustered in corporate designs where compliance drives the choice.

• Not applicable to my work
• Yes, and mine is included
• Yes, but it is missing

10. Is the same signature installed everywhere you send email from?

A signature that only exists in Gmail but not on your phone (or vice versa) sends mismatched versions — often with one copy looking broken.

• Yes — desktop, webmail and phone
• Some devices only
• One place only
