Classical Plone Theming <ul><li>You can easily change CSS (colors, sizes, fonts); </li></ul><ul><li>More profound changes can be done by customizing “views” and “templates”; </li></ul><ul><li>Even more profound customizations: modify the main template </li></ul><ul><li>A lot of work for radical design changes! </li></ul>

Advantages <ul><li>Graphic designers don't need to know Plone; </li></ul><ul><li>You can easily use a 3rd-party layout; </li></ul><ul><li>Separate interface for content management; </li></ul><ul><li>Keep your Plone site as basic as possible; </li></ul>

16.
Disadvantages <ul><li>Extra layer of complexity; </li></ul><ul><li>Separate interface for content management; </li></ul><ul><li>No more WYSIWYG; </li></ul><ul><li>Extra server (maybe); </li></ul>

17.
Caveats <ul><li>Deliverance does simple find-and-replace, no complex transformations </li></ul><ul><ul><li>Tell graphic designers which HTML Plone produces, or have them take a look at a Plone site beforehand </li></ul></ul><ul><li>404's unstyled </li></ul><ul><li>Beware of compression (CacheFu) </li></ul>

18.
Performance considerations <ul><li>Deliverance is fast, compared to Plone </li></ul><ul><li>It will not make your site any faster, because Plone still has to render the page </li></ul><ul><li>But your performance won't suffer </li></ul><ul><li>Lighter HTML/CSS/JS may save bandwidth and client rendering time </li></ul>

19.
When to use Deliverance <ul><li>When you are handed a ready-made design from a 3 rd party; </li></ul><ul><li>When you want 1) full Plone functionality (for editors), and 2) a specific design (for viewers) </li></ul><ul><li>When a design would require slightly modifiying many templates / views all in the same manner; </li></ul><ul><li>When you have more than 1 content source; </li></ul>

20.
When NOT to use Deliverance <ul><li>If you want to keep WYSIWYG; </li></ul><ul><li>If you want to do a simple graphic design alteration; </li></ul><ul><li>If you're going to customize all of Plone anyway; </li></ul>

21.
Ways to use Deliverance + Plone <ul><li>Plone + Deliverance server </li></ul><ul><ul><li>Separate server, independent of Plone </li></ul></ul><ul><li>Plone + collective.xdv </li></ul><ul><ul><li>Install as Plone product; </li></ul></ul>
