Do you already have the Content Type? – Robert Lindgren Nov 20 '13 at 9:29

No I don't have. Do I need to create some content type first? – Frank Martin Nov 20 '13 at 9:49

1If you want to do a Publishing Page Layout you will have to base it on a content type, existing or custom – Robert Lindgren Nov 20 '13 at 11:37

I would suggest creating a WebPart using Visual Studio. By using Visual Studio - you can create a SharePoint Visual Web Part. This is like creating a normal .aspx page with it's .cs page for code behind. You can modify the look and feel of this page as you wish. you can even call data from SQL database or other SharePoint lists. After building the web part, you just deploy that web part to your farm. Then create a web-part page in your SharePoint site and insert your web part. Your web part will be stored in the custom folder from the web parts menu.

1This answer is in danger of being flagged as "low-quality", can you please try to extend your answer with how this approach will be done? At least in a bit wider fashion :) – Robert Lindgren Nov 20 '13 at 9:54

Hey Pieter, the poster is asking about how to create a content type and page layout. Why on earth do you suggest web parts? – Imir Hoxha Nov 17 '15 at 19:43
