What are Nested Layouts?


Nested Layouts allow you to place layout containers within other layout containers, giving you precise control over how elements are structured on a page. This structure lets you easily manage multi-column designs, adaptive spacing, and responsive sections with improved visual control.


Whether you’re creating opt-in pages, comparison tables, or product showcases, Nested Layouts simplify the process while enhancing visual consistency and alignment.


Key Benefits of Nested Layouts


Nested Layouts eliminate complexity and add power to your page design toolkit:

  • Flexible Structure: Easily place rows, columns, and other layouts within one another.

  • Real-Time Settings: Instantly change layout direction (row, column, collage) with live previews.

  • Precise Spacing Tools: Set margins, padding, and alignment exactly how you want—at every level.

  • No More Workarounds: Design complex pages without custom CSS or third-party solutions.

  • Reusable Layouts: Save time by duplicating and modifying nested containers for consistent branding.


Examples of What You Can Build with Nested Layouts


Nested Layouts open up a wide range of advanced design possibilities. Here are some practical examples:

  • Two-Column Opt-In Pages

    • Headline and form on the left

    • Testimonials and social proof on the right

  • Pricing Comparison Tables

    • Multi-column layouts

    • Dedicated sections for features, pricing, and CTA buttons

  • Feature Showcase Grids

    • Balanced rows of images, text, and buttons

    • Consistent spacing across columns


How To Setup Nested Layouts in the Builder


Nested Layouts are easy to implement using the Funnel or Website Builder’s drag-and-drop interface. Here’s how to get started:

  1. Open any funnel or website page in the HighLevel builder.

  2. Drag a Layout Container into the page.

  3. Add another Layout Container inside the first one to create a nested structure.

  4. Adjust layout settings by selecting the container and choosing direction (row, column, collage).

  5. Fine-tune spacing and alignment for both parent and child containers.

  6. Add elements (headlines, forms, buttons, images) into the nested layout as needed.
