    Hey Nancy, is this similar to Handlebars? Do you like that? Only reason I ask is I am finding out about Handlebars (Foundation uses it) and how awesome it is and really similar to Liquid with its includes. I'm not Php at all yet so was wondering if this is something similar and can cross over knowledge wise and I would have a leg up when I get there. By the way you are a wealth of info and I appreciate the time you take here!

    Foundation itself is no big deal.  It's merely a coding framework similar to Bootstrap.  But Liquid & Handlebars are a complete unknown to me.  I've never tried them.  Maybe someone else knows more about them.

    My advice - don't even go there. dwt is a poor choice for anything over a few pages, say 10. I certainly would not be wanting to manage 50 pages let alone over 50 pages. I used to have sites with well over 100 pages which used a .dwt template from a previous developer, was a pain in the bum. Now all my sites are produced with php include files.

    I would only recommend using a .dwt template for a small site these days.
