Hello,
I’m building a marketplace category where brand reps post exclusive product listings. I’m currently using Form Templates which outputs fields as flat `h3`/`p` pairs. With CSS I’ve managed basic styling, but I can’t achieve a proper two-column product card (image left, details right) because CSS can’t restructure the linear HTML output.
What’s the best approach for achieving a proper product listing layout in a specific category? I’m not attached to Form Templates - open to components, plugins, or anything else that gives more control over how structured data renders into a post.
What I have:
What I want:
Thanks!

Closest out of the box for images is probably [Topic List Thumbnails](https://meta.discourse.org/t/topic-list-thumbnails/150602) or [Topic Cards](https://meta.discourse.org/t/topic-cards/296048)
To have complete control over what is shown, you’ll have to make your own theme component.

You can post in #Marketplace to hire someone to do this if you would like something custom.
