Separating application logic and content from its presentation

[Greg]

Hi,

I am about to develop a simple Content Management system – main purpose
would be posting articles. I am trying to find some ideas/ sample
architecture showing how to separate application logic and content from its
presentation. I would like to use some kind of predefined templates (only
developer can cerate new templates); each template would be composed of
certain controls and in would have some specific layout. The default.aspx
would be created dynamically based on the template specified.
I checked out DotNetNuke and Community Starter Kit
(http://asp.net/Default.aspx?tabindex=8&tabid=47). They are very good, but
too complex for my need.

Any hints would be greatly appreciated,
Greg

Just create the different modules (news, links, events, etc) and make sure to
use styles for all the different visual items. Then its really just a matter
of using different CSS files. You only have to specify which CSS to use then.
