Smarty Framework

 

Smarty is a template engine for PHP with massive user base. It enables PHP people to separate presentation (HTML/CSS) from application logic. The template engine became big time popular because it is simple to use, and follows the "Separate Programming Code from Presentation" philosophy. In short, Smarty is here to stay.

At Asahi Technologies, we offer Smarty development for Smarty-based websites and applications, website customization, maintenance, integration, re-development, and third-party support. We employ Smarty tool only after analyzing it fits your needs.

 

How Can Smarty Help Your Project?

Because though PHP programming language is considered better for code development, Smarty does a better job in the design department by offering you to work with better and much simpler tag-based syntax. The difference lies in using a messy syntax to a clean tag-based syntax. Aside the tag-based syntax, Smarty PHP Framework offers an array of tools to manage presentation including granular data caching, template inheritance, and functional sandboxing.

For bigger projects, for instance, projects involving development of hundred dozens of templates, template inheritance keeps template maintenance streamlined. If you are looking to work with web designers (not PHP developers) for template management, then the importance of the tag-based template syntax are better realized. However, Smarty does not replace PHP, and it is one solution to manage the presentation of your PHP applications quicker and better.

At Asahi Technologies, we understand Smarty is not one single tool that can do all the web development jobs, so we will use the template engine only for select projects considering the nature of business requirements and the timeframe.
