Modular Templating

Implementing new website functionality can often involve extensive updates to many existing web templates and css pages. Layout updates may be slow, since design is often entwined with logic, which requires a more extensive deployment and testing process.

As a result, it can be difficult to respond to new demands, since this entire process is very time consuming. The work of multi-disciplinary teams who contribute to the design and functionality of a website needs to be coordinated for the final templates to be complete.

Create once, use many times

SDL Tridion separates the different template building blocks designed for specific purposes, including design, code and applications. This allows you to take advantage of new functionality throughout your website, since you can mix and match these template building blocks on any page.

Those with expertise in different areas can use industry standard tools to develop templates, such as:

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

This approach to template design allows IT to easily combine the work of designers, developers and programmers. Once a template is assembled from the various template building blocks, SDL Tridion provides previewing and debugging functionality that allow you to easily identify and solve any problems in the templates.

As with all SDL Tridion content items, template building blocks are fully BluePrinted, allowing for an easy rollout to multiple sites and pages throughout your web estate.
