Templates

Templates are predesigned pages that can be dropped to another page to expedite the development process.

For example, if you have a certain type of grid that is used on different pages, it could be beneficial to have it as a template so that you can:

• Save time in replicating it
• Save time in changing it
• Standardize the development process
