I was recently exposed to the Smarty Template Engine when working with X-Cart.
I really enjoy this technology and was thinking of using it for one of my non e-commerce sites.
My question for anyone that may have the answer is.... How good is the Smarty Template System with S.E.O.? Is there any draw backs or small hurdles that I may want to look out for? Previously I have used straight PHP and have had very good results in terms of organic traffic from Google and other top engines.
I want to use Smarty to redesign a fairly large site (over 200 pages)
A template is a template. The technology behind any templating system merely reads and replaces pieces you have specified and outputs the HTML that is ulitmately picked up by search engines. But you control all this, including the content, in how you setup your templates. So really the question is not how will Smarty handle it, but how will you handle it?
