Marketo LP Templates - Responsiveness and Form edits

[Anonymous]

Crowd: A few quick questions re: the Marketo templates offered at templates.marketo.com....

#1 - Are the Landing Pages here responsive? (I see email templates labeled as responsive... but the LPs aren't specifically labeled that way.)

#2 - Is there flexibility w. # of form fields? Trying to determine just how rigid the templates are... if we add form fields to those pre-set in the template, will it blow out any components of the template design - or will that area just dynamically alter in size? (On yesterday's webinar, I recall hearing that templates shouldn't be monkeyed with much, at risk of altering their design).

#3 - If they aren't responsive... anyone have a good way to develop a responsive LP outside of Marketo, that incorporates a Marketo form via iFrame?

#4 - Could someone bring me an afternoon latte?

Thanks! - Jen

Hi Jen,

The Marketo landing pages are not responsive because of their use of absolute positioning.  

I've had good experience with creating responsive landing pages and dropping in an iframed Marketo page with just a form.  I recommend starting with a bootstrap template that is designed to be responsive and building from there.  Here are some great ones - http://www.designrazzi.com/2013/landing-page-templates/

You can even add a css viewport to your Marketo landing page, but usually a one column form will fit nicely on any screen size.    

If you have your heart set on a truly responsive Marketo page, here is an article from Yesler on how they did it - http://edwardunthank.com/blog/how-we-made-a-responsive-marketo-landing-page/

...Sorry can't help you with the latte!
