 ===== Templates =====
-Style guide forth-coming.
+Templates are looser with their styles due to the difficult mix of conditional PHP and HTML. Here's a few guidelines to help write clearer templates.
+  * 2 Space Indents
+  * Long php tags - ''<?php''
+  * Use short echo tags - ''<?=$var ?>''
+  * Use if blocks instead of brackets and indent inside - ''<?php if(): ?><?php endif; ?>''
+  * Use Slots to simply buffering and conditional content, especially across templates
+  * If a loop is producing multiple buttons, links, etc. per item, consider making a subtemplate and using ''<?=$this->render('') ?>''
+  * Don't call Model methods from Views, perform this logic in the Controllers
 ===== CSS =====
