FN-FORUM: Explaining what template driven websites are and their virtues to end-users

date posted 23rd March 2008 12:01

Good Morning,

I am doing a little presentation to some end-users about template
driven websites, which needs to cover the what and the why.

The what:
Template-driven websites are designed to separate how the site looks
(layout, look & feel) from how the website works (functionality). This
then means that changes can be made to how the site looks with limited
knowledge of HTML and no knowledge of scripting/php/asp etc..

The why:
- The end-product is far more robust. Changes to the website layout
will not impair how the site itself works, only how it looks.
- Quickly and easily freshen up the design without having to sift
through lengthy code segments that define how the site works
- The modular fashion in which template-driven web sites are built
also means that you are flexible in what bits of functionality you
choose to include and those that you choose to exclude.

I know there is a lot more to this, but I am a little stuck, so any
other pointers you guys may have would be greatly appreciated.

Best,
Duncan
