In choosing a platform for our system, we evaluated many options. We evaluated Smarty. We evaluated creating our own templating system. We even evaluated TAL templates. However, we found that for us, after nearly 4 years of development and testing, using XSL has provided the largest amount of flexibility within the template itself. We've provided radically differing templates to different clients. XSL has provided us a flexible, open standard with hundreds of pages of documentation and tutorials available online, including places like w3schools, not to mention giving our clients the ability to use their in-house staff or easily hire freelance coders to customize their sites.

Our goal wasn't just to throw another CMS into the hat so to speak. We started out with the plan to create something different than what was currently offered and not just have people keep comparing feature lists to decide which system they like the best. Offering a far more powerful templating system was part of that plan.
