See changes in html and css in realtime

I was wondering if anybody knows a way to use codepen or a similar tool with marketo

Having to reupload a CSS or HTML file everytime you change something makes it cumbersome to work. (upload, reaprove, refresh, repeat)

Last time i tried uploading a marketo template to codepen, it wouldn't load forms or styles completely

Maybe it's just a matter of knowing how to set it up it properly. Maybe there is a similar service...

Thanks in advance!

I'm sorry, I'm new to markup languages.

How do you "open up your offline code in Chrome" ?

I've tried opening my html files with chrome before, but they don't render correctly because they are an empty template, so I imagine that's not what you mean, right?


I build the chrome extension to help with it. Building templates through Marketo is not pleasant.

Download the extension.
Open the HTML page in the browser you are working on. Then click on the Marketo extension. Turn it on and it will take all of the meta tags and distribute the information throughout the page and your page will render correctly.

If you have any questions or comments please feel free to address me with them. At some point when I can get some more free time I plan to release a second version but until then.

Have you tried the following Chrome Extension: Marketo Guided Template Builder - Chrome Web Store?

It's a really cool extension that allows you to view Guided Templates offline. Jonathan Ankiewicz​ developed it, it helps me in the process of developing and having to do less uploading, etc...

Thanks for the mention.

I do have a second version half built that will allow you to actually update the input fields on the fly same as in the templates but I haven't had a chance to finish it.

But knowing more people are using it I may have to really force myself to find the time.

I installed it but I'm not sure how to use it to be honest :S

Should I use it while editing the html of the template within marketo? Perhaps while modifying things from inside the developer tools on a landing page... ?

Thanks!
