The information inside the 'Curly Braces' are know as Entities or placeholders for data which is extracted from the database, resulting in the screen you are reading now.
Fastpage has special entity types as you will see above, but more about that later.
Instead of the web page remaining static, in the example above the content can be changed at any time by the end user.
As a web designer you control what the end user can change and leave other areas like navigation links out of harms way.
It is important to understand the templates are free from PHP code allowing a web designer the freedom to design web pages without worrying about mixing PHP code with the web page. At any time you can change the look and feel of the web page, shift the entities around without destroying the data inside the entity. |
