A better looking form???

A better looking form???

I've created my web to lead form and have embedded it into my website.  However, it looks so dry...visually.

2 questions....

1. Is there a way to customize the look of an embedded form?
2. Is there a gateway or other method of taking emailed form submission information and populate into Zoho automatically?  In other words, using my existing web form (non-Zoho), and having Zoho read the person's information from the formatted email and populate Zoho?

Any help is appreciated.
