"Content and Layout Separation" refers to the concept of separating content and the layout of a website or application to enable flexible and efficient management. In a Content Management System (CMS), content such as text, images, videos, or other media is stored and managed separately from the presentation or design of the website. This allows users to edit, update, and manage content independently of the layout without affecting the appearance of the website. This separation makes it easier to dynamically update content and use different designs or templates for the same content, increasing flexibility and ease of maintenance.
Typical features of software in the area of "Content and Layout Separation" include:
