A Magnolia site will look the way your creative team intended during authoring and on the live site. Magnolia's inline-editing feature ensures that editors see content paragraphs in their right context at all times. This reduces switching between working modes.
Each Magnolia page adheres to a template automatically. The page looks professional and fits in with the rest of the pages on the site. Authors choose from templates tailored to display a particular type of content from a dropdown.
The Standard Templating Kit ships readily with templates for many common use cases such as events, news and FAQs. You can develop your own templates for client showcases, partner pages or any other content that benefits from a unified way of presentation. Pages inherit their appearance and behavior from the templates, always precise and reflecting the corporate image and message your creative team carefully put together.
STK: freedom of design and solid foundation

- FAQ template
The FAQ template allows you to maintain a list of frequently asked questions. Each question can be edited independently, and answers to a question will be shown right below the question when a user clicks on a question.
Magnolia's Standard Templating Kit (STK) provides a best practice for creating a Web site layout. Site developers can use the popular FreeMarker templating language to write the templates. JSP and custom templating languages are also supported.
Templates enforce cohesion and unity by ensuring that content is placed in the right place on the page and that it looks exactly as creative designers intended.
Content authors can focus on producing content, trusting that site layout will not be impacted. Similarly, developers can develop new features and templates with the knowledge that site content will not be changed. This fundamental separation of responsibilities into functionality, content and presentation ensures that everyone does what they are good at without stepping on each others' toes. It makes your Magnolia site clear and easy to maintain.
