Modular Templating for greater flexibility, ease of use and efficiency

Every marketing manager needs to be competitive when it comes to responding to the latest trends in internet marketing and communication. In turn, Web site designers, developers and programmers face the demanding task of getting creating and modifying Web site templates. Modular Templating is designed to meet the challenges of implementing applications, functionality and design to create a flexible framework that facilitates your requirements. Templates for Web analytics are provided through our customer forum.

The most significant change introduced in the 5.3 release is a new approach to template design and template management. Modular templating ensures that you can improve your existing implementations and provides you with greater flexibility when managing templates.

So, what is modular?

The new templating framework separates different template building blocks that are designed for specific purposes: design, code & applications. You can easily assemble these different template types into modular templates to render content and Web pages using an easy-to-use Template Builder.

Standard tools

The new templating model allows Web site developers to use industry standard tools to develop templates:

• Dreamweaver (HTML & design)
• Visual Studio (.NET & C#)

Combining the work of designers, developers and programmers

Separate design and code building blocks enable Web site developers, programmers and designers to work on separate parts of a template and combine these parts in many different ways. This approach optimises reuse and ensures greater efficiency when introducing or improving Web site design and applications.

Mix and match

Mix and match different template building blocks to render content and to add valuable functionality to your Web site. This ability to combine different building blocks enables you to respond quickly to market trends and new demands for Web site applications, localisation requirements, and cutting-edge functionality.

Optimise reuse

Optimise reuse by using template building blocks in multiple content and page templates. Build it once, use it many times.

Assemble and debug

You can assemble and debug template building blocks within Template Builder to ensure that your rollout is error free.

Fully BluePrinted means granular control

Full BluePrinting capabilities mean that you can easily rollout new Web site design, applications and functionality throughout your organisation's Web sites, while allowing for local adaptation as needed.
