Surely, it is easier to use ready-made templates for the website. However, you often need your own style for the website. In this section, we will learn how to create a new template from scratch.
Templates in CMS Made Simple contain pure HTML. For dynamic parts of the layout, such as navigation or content, special placeholders are used. These placeholders are realized with the Smarty web template system. You use simple Smarty tags in your template to mark the places where dynamic parts in the pages are required. Smarty tags are placeholders that are substituted with simple text or even other HTML templates when the website is displayed in the browser. In contrast to HTML tags, Smarty tags are always enclosed in curly brackets.
