A website with templates is a dynamic website. For example, to display hundreds of products, they need one template only. There are variables in this template, such as the product name, product description, product images, product price,... these variables are filled with data from a source such as the database, when it is displayed.
On the other hand, a website without a template would need 100 manually coded (by copy and paste) pages for the 100 products.
As you can see, it would be very very deadly tedious and difficult to modify even a single spelling mistake. For a template website, you need to modify 1 (one) page only, where as for a website without, you need to modify 100 (one hundred) pages!
Hope this explains... :-)
