Modules and templates: a maintainable website

Separate page structure, reusable blocks, and presentation so future changes stay manageable.

Modules and templates: a maintainable website

The role of each part

The site tree defines page hierarchy and addresses. Templates define HTML presentation, while modules provide specific content and functions such as a blog, menu, gallery, form, or search. A block type can therefore appear where needed without duplicating content manually.

A practical workflow

Start with a page map. Enable the modules you need, choose templates, and populate content for every published language. Before launch, walk through a visitor’s main journeys—from the home page to a contact form or purchase—to catch empty blocks and broken links.
