Actually where it =really speeds thing up is the prototype/research/planning etc We sit in front of a PC and mock up the forms/ pages/ nav bar etc.. That stuff then gets coded. Doddle Pete Vicente Werner wrote:

Moving our sites to smarty is the best thing we've done at our company...

Just a few weeks ago, I'd have agreed wit' yah, but now I see Smarty as mostly (not always) redundant. See my post where I learned that PHP makes a great templating engine: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general&m=108145205519710&w=2

Ugh that's not just fuckingly ugly, but a total doom to maintain over the time -two months without touching the code and you're absolutely lost- . It maybe faster, it maybe a bit simpler since you only have to learn one language, but it's a mental carnage to maintain a client site that way.... I Agree with Pete, moving to smarty was the best we could've done.
