Creating form in Visual Studio 2012

I recently bought the “Build Your Own ASP.Net 4 Website” book and I have gotten to chapter 5 where I am supposed to start creating the Dorknozzle site. However, I’ve gotten stuck on page 184-185 which has me editing Default.aspx.

First of all, I am using VS2012 and HTML5, so perhaps things have changed since the version in the book. And when I selected File > New Web Site…, ASP.NET Web Site was not available as an option. Instead, the 4 options are:
ASP.NET Empty Web Site,
ASP.NET Web Site (Razor v1), and
ASP.NET Web Forms Site

I chose the Web Forms Site because it was the only one that displayed a similar Solution Explorer window. When I tried to insert a form, then, it is not even a suggestion in the SmartTags. Instead, the only item I can choose is formView. I hope someone who have VS2012 can help me out here. I’d appreciate any help in this matter.
