Overview

Emersion's portals can be used immediately without any customisation. It's 'out-of-the-box' CSS template is minimalist and was designed to fit neatly with any existing styles and branding. That said, most service providers customise the styling of the sign up portal to better suit their own branding requirements and to adopt a fully integrated look.
Smarty Templates
Emersion uses the Smarty Template Engine for PHP, facilitating the separation of presentation (HTML/CSS) from application logic. This implies that PHP code is application logic, and is separated from the presentation. Therefore, designers are limited by Smarty's features and functions. Right-click and open the link to Smarty's documentation in a new tab/window.
