FrontPage Template-based Webs - In typical FrontPage Template based webs, if you wanted to change the look of your web pages, you would purchase a new web template from one of the many 3rd party template vendors. Then you would setup a new web using the new template. Then you would begin the tedious process of copying your main page content from one web to the other. After doing this your would fix up the common areas of the web (sometimes on a pages by page basis. A pretty big undertaking! The nice thing about FP template webs is that every page can be customized.

Super Themes Webs - Its very easy to change the look of a Super Theme Web. Bring up the Super Themes Browser, select a Super Theme, apply it and then edit the shared borders for common info. The downside of the shared border-based Super Themes Web is that every page in the web must have the same shared border areas (unless you use sub webs to manage sections of the webs).

Dynamic Web Template Webs - Once the web has been converted to a DWT-based web, it is quite easy to change the look of any page in the web. Multiple DWTs can be used to set the look of different pages or sections of the web. You can also define editable regions in the DWT so that content can be editable on a page-by-page basis.

DWTIG Compliant DWTs - The flexibility and power of the DWT is not without a cost. Its easy to start a DWT based web only to find that you really should have setup the DWT in a different way. It can also be difficult to change DWT on a page if the DWT has incompatible regions. That's why a group of us in the design community have Dynamic Web Template Interchange Guidelines (DWTIG) for DWT developers. The DWTIG-compliant DWT will enable users to change the look of any page on their web quickly and easily. This, in turn, will encourage users to change the look of their web more often and therefore make the market for 3rd party DWTs more viable.
