Resource categories
1. Templates
The layout of the web pages follows the *Template* pattern. This way the layout and the design of the web page can be changed very easy. A template is a zk page that defines placeholders for different regions of the web page, regions that are defined in the framework as *zones*. In the figure below you can see a 4-region page: the header, the upper-left menu, the lower left menu and the center.
