Templates

What exactly are templates?

Especially in the field of web design, templates are files that describe the layout of one or more pages of a website, but provide placeholders for the content to be displayed. The placeholders in templates are dynamically replaced with content.

Templates and similar solutions form the conceptual basis for modularly separating the application solution from the presentation within a software architecture. Templates make it possible to subsequently replace the graphical user interface with alternatives with significantly less effort. Themes and skins are closely related to templates and are therefore used as synonyms in practice.
