Sharepoint Foundation - Create page with zones

Question

I would like to create a page with default left and right zone, but I'm just able to create a rich page with column-based text layouts.
How can I achieve that? Are there some kind of templates?

Setup: Sharepoint Foundation 2010 (without access to SP Designer)

I also learned from this question, that I'm not able to create custom layouts without designer.

Answer 1

I have found what I was looking for:

• All Site Content in the Quick Launch bar
• Create
• Category Pages and Sites
• Web Part Page

Now I can choose a default layout template with multiple column combination.
As detailCode stated, I'm unable to create my own templates without SP Designer

Answer 2

Since you don't have the full SharePoint Server, if you want to make a page with custom zones, use SharePoint Designer to make your web part pages.

Put your zones in placeholdermain (Left/Right), then attached the default masterpage. Use HTML tables to layout who you want the zones to appear in the ASPX. It will look just like a page layout from SharePoint Server. If you need a reference, look at default.aspx on the root of any site.

Also, place these kinds of files in a document library with versioning turned on.
