 ## Forms
 
-* Every form should have at least one 'panel' which contains the form fields. If certain fields can be grouped together, you can add multiple panels to a form.
-* A field consists of an outer wrapper `.form-group` which contains a `label` and the `input`
-* The submit button should be placed outside of the panels to prevent confusion (e.g., the save button saves the whole form and not just the last panel).
-* Checkboxes are placed within a label (see example below). The wrapping div needs an additional `.checkbox` class
-* Additional field descriptions can be placed in the `.help-block` `span`
+After determining the proper layout for forms we decided to create wrappers in PHP to create all forms. This de-duplicates all of the current HTML, making this migration a bit harder but any future updates infinitely easier (since all forms can be updated centrally). This is what the form-code should look like:

 ## Tables
 
 * Wrap your tables in a `<div class="table-responsive">` to make them scroll horizontally on small devices.
