Separation of Site Presentation and Content

One thing that makes Site Studio a valuable tool is that it allows Web site content to be completely separate from Web site presentation. This way, different people can manage and be responsible for the information on a Web site without inadvertently affecting the layout, design, or look-and-feel of the site. In addition, the people assigned to manage the site content can make changes as necessary without having to send them to someone else to complete the task. This removes an important bottleneck that exists in many site management scenarios, where all site changes must be handled by a very limited number of site administrators.

With separation of site presentation and content in mind, the files associated with a Web site can be divided into three main categories:

Site Presentation Files
Site Content Files
Site Control and Configuration Files
