We use a word theme or template that reveals an idea or sketch of the designer or any creative thinker. Creativity comes out in many forms. Designing themes for websites is just one of them. Unfortunately the design, theme or template that each designer comes up depends on the platform in use. To give you an example Magento allows you to define customized pages for category and product detail pages. What this means is that you can have the choice of presenting the details of your product in a manner you would want which really is extraordinary.
All the themes whether they are Magento Themes or built for any other platform faces different types of audience. Some very aesthetic, some looking for specific features, some want speedy results and those who are store administrators, they would want easy management features. It is a challenge to bring all these features in one theme and satisfy all types of audience. The most important factor in this challenge is to have a platform that can help implement these features. Let us see what Magento has to offer us,
1. Freedom to customize
You can create endless designs for your store with the help of Magento. Especially you can customize your theme pages for category and product pages. This means if you have five categories on your site, then you can have 5 different page designs for each category and what more you can have separate pages for product details as well. Design your pages according to the category and how you would like to promote them.
2. Continuous workflow
Consider the code in the below image , with the help of below mentioned template tags we can insert or call block to/from any module on any page. It’s easy to use these tags to access any module anywhere. Because of Magento’s rich features, you would not have to be dependent on developers for simple tasks.
3. Efficient debugging
Because of the modular approach for defining templates the complexities involved with (X)HTML are eliminated to minimal. Magento defines code pool for design and development. To give you an example layout files are placed in separate folder whereas CSS and images are placed in different folders. Similarly Block, template, helper classes are all defined in their respective folder hierarchy. Each module has XML configuration file defining all blocks, events etc. So troubleshooting and debugging is easier now.
4. Use Many Themes at once
Whether it’s temporary, default or different color scheme, you can easily load multipleMagento Templates all at once. To give you an example you can create multiple store views in Magento, each can be associated with separate theme e.g. multi-language store views, multi-color store views etc.
Above features really set apart Magento from other platforms. More and more eVendors are now moving towards this platform due to its great benefits and those who already have it are happier than ever with its frontend and backend management tools.
