Templates are Django templates, stored in the database and editable from the Django admin (or similar).
Pages are a simple view subclass which return a basic HTML page according to a template. They have related, editable Contentlets and Content References based on {% container %} tags used in the template.

Philo also provides a number of useful template tags, in particular {% container %}, which generates a relationship (and a field in the admin interface) on any pages which use that template.
