Template Blocks

- What is Template Blocks?
Template blocks is a visual template engine, built from the ground up to tailor the needs of the new age web community. It is directed for use by professional web developers that want the raw power of creating markup code and script functions but don’t want to get stuck in the little details that are proven to be time consuming and mind numbing.

- Who created this and why?
This script was initially developed by Makis Tracend, a web developer from Sydney, partly out of necessity to use for his own websites and partly to record the logic gathered after years of experience in web designing. It is released to the public in the hopes that the online community would benefit from it as the goal seemed more universal.

- How does this template engine work in a few words?
The basic concept is that any template can be split up in pieces. What we call here blocks. A block can be any self-contained piece of HTML (starting and closing with the same tag) or any other Stylesheet, JavaScript or even PHP script file. You first create the blocks and then by compiling them you create the different templates you are going to use on the site.

- Is Template Blocks like a CMS?
No, Template Blocks is not just another CMS. It’s a template engine. In fact you can wrap Template Blocks around any CMS, blog or other online application, separating the template creation from the content once and for all.
