Showcase: Hostelz uses Smarty Oct 3, 2011
David from Hostelz says:
Hostelz.com is the largest hostels guide on the web, featuring over
43,000 listings in over 8,600 cities worldwide. The site has been
helping travelers find hostels for nearly 10 years. It offers reviews
and comments from guests, and an online booking system that does a
meta-search of the major hostel booking websites to allow users to
compare prices and find available beds.
We've been using Smarty as the template system for Hostelz.com since
2002. We believe a template system is necessary for large scale
websites so that the design elements of the site are uncoupled from
the underlying programming code. Smarty allows our graphic designers
to sculpt the look of the site without needing to touch any of the PHP
code that powers it. We also use Smarty's config files to separate
out text from the from templates into separate files so that our
translators can translate it to create foreign language versions of
the site.
Smarty's sophisticated caching system is a key part of what makes our
site perform significantly faster than our competitors. After the
first time a page is accessed, subsequent requests for the page
usually come directly from the cache, allowing pages to load almost
instantly without querying the database. The performance difference
is noticeable and it results in a much better user experience for our
visitors.
Smarty has been invaluable to the development of Hostelz.com.
Thanks!
