templates are cake to edit and very cost-effective in terms of time use

i'm not talking about using a prefab template, but about template functionality & the ability to alter a site across the board, plus nested templates for subsections with their own structure-- it's good shit, a huge time saver, especially during a) initial tests ("should this be 2 or 3 column?"), b) redesigns

if it's good and clean and standards compliant template it can live forever, though it remains dependent on the software.

using a template to make a one-page site however would be stupid beyond words. though it could be helpful to someone who has no clue about coding. cs5's templates are pretty clean, considering.
