# Assets customization

In this article, we cover the basics of creating custom templates, layouts, and modules.

---

## Define templates

Start thinking about a rough website layout (maybe sketching on paper). This can help you understand where different website elements should be placed.

Standard templates often include the following essential parts:

- **Header**: It contains the website logo, navigation menu, and other important information.
- **Footer**: It contains copyright information, contact details, and other relevant links.
- **Main content**: It contains all the editorial and promo content.

## Define layouts

A grid system helps to organize the website's layout and provides consistency across different pages.

Create a new layout to separate content in columns and rows and include fixed content.

## Define modules

Modules host content and describe how to present it.

Create a new module when the out-of-the-box ones don't meet your presentation needs.

## Ingest custom assets

Once you have designed the templates, layouts, and modules you need, get in touch with your technical team to:

- Write the JSON definition of your templates, layouts, and modules based on your design.
- Through Swagger, call the FORGE API that ingests the JSON above.
- In the FORGE Back Office, under **Presentation Manager → Administration → Frontend**, click the *Load Site Asset* button: this makes the new template available in the Page Builder.
