Can all CMS platforms be considered as template systems, and what are the implications of this for website design and customization?

Not all CMS platforms can be considered as template systems. Template systems are specifically designed to separate the content from the design, allowing for easier customization and flexibility in website design. When choosing a CMS platform, it is important to consider whether it provides template system functionality to ensure easier website design and customization.

// Example code snippet for implementing a template system in PHP

// Define a basic template structure
$template = '<html>
<head>
<title>{title}</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>{content}</h1>
</body>
</html>';

// Define variables to replace in the template
$title = 'My Website';
$content = 'Welcome to my website!';

// Replace variables in the template
$output = str_replace('{title}', $title, $template);
$output = str_replace('{content}', $content, $output);

// Output the final HTML
echo $output;
