Ari, thanks for the post. Appreciate that! We received a lot of great feedback on Knak from Summit attendees this week.
In my experience working with our clients, responsive templates are something that almost every Marketo customer struggles with...and not only for landing pages...emails too. And its not so much editing the asset, the fundamental problem is that the initial creation of these templates require extensive coding knowledge. The template itself can be between 500-700 lines of code, depending on if it is for an email or a landing page.
This is why we created Knak. Because marketers are not coders, and that is what is actually required to create a template that works (and looks great) in Marketo. Knak makes creating responsive Marketo templates simple, no coding required. I would also not consider it a "workaround". It helps marketers get more out of the powerful Marketo editor...not replace it.
You can design a template how you want in minutes with Knak, bring it into the Marketo editor, and edit it like you would any other email or landing page.
