Plus as an added bonus, now your client can actually change and update it without having to know how Joomla works. Note: I also discourage the use of collapsible module positions in the template, as this will affect the ability to cache content from those pages. Collapsible module positions and custom html are good tools for rapid prototyping/changing while designing the website. Once the design is finalized, you can create multiple templates without collapsible modules and replace all that custom html modules with the ultimate content display module[or if it is a design element and not content, place the design into a custom template]
