# Create Layout Templates for Forms

Layout templates are used to format landing pages, forms, and site search results. Layout templates do not support server-side scripting languages.

Note The outermost containing element controls a form’s styling.

- If a form is by itself, the layout template for that form is used.
- If a form is on a landing page, the landing page layout template is used, and the form’s layout template is ignored.
- If a form is on a landing page built using the landing page builder, no layout template is used.

1. Open the Layout Templates page.
    - In Account Engagement, select **Marketing** | **Forms** | **Layout Templates**.
    - In the Lightning app, select **Content** and then **Layout Templates**.
2. Click **\+ Add Layout Template**.
3. Name the template.
4. Create or import styling using one of these methods.
    
    - On the Layout tab, add HTML and CSS. Don’t remove the `%%title%%`, `%%content%%`, and `%%description%%` variable tags because they populate content for your forms and landing pages.
    - Import styling from a website by clicking **Import layout from URL**. You must add the `%%title%%`, `%%content%%`, and `%%description%%` variable tags.
5. (Optional) Edit the Form and Site Search tabs. The default code is best for most cases.
6. Save your layout template.
