receiving, from the computing device, a web page that includes a rendered template, the rendered template comprising one or more place holders for insertion of content;

inserting, by the client-side code, content in the place of the one or more place holders; and

the rendered template is represented using HyperText Markup Language (HTML) code.

12 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

processing the rendered template included in the web page to identify the one or more place holders; and

for each place holder, selecting a piece of content to be displayed instead of the place holder.

14 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising caching the rendered template.

15 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the electronic device is a mobile device.

16 . A system comprising:

a memory comprising instructions executable by one or more processors; and

the one or more processors coupled to the memory and operable to execute the instructions, the one or more processors being operable when executing the instructions to:

receive, from client-side code associated with a user-interface component of an electronic device, a request for a web page to be displayed on the electronic device, the web page including content associated with a rendered template of a plurality of rendered templates, each rendered template comprising one or more place holders for insertion of content and having been rendered for display on electronic devices;

select, from the plurality of templates, the rendered template based on the request;

construct a web page that includes the rendered template comprising the one or more placeholders; and

send, to the electronic device, the web page including the rendered template comprising the one or more placeholders for insertion and display of the content by the client-side code executed on the requesting electronic device.

17 . The system of claim 16 , wherein the rendered template is included in the web page as an “iframe” element.

18 . The system of claim 16 , wherein the one or more processors are further operable when executing the instructions to:

20 . The system of claim 18 , wherein:

at least one of the plurality of templates comprises one or more pieces of dynamic content; and

for each dialog template that comprises one or more pieces of dynamic content, when rendering the template, each piece of dynamic content included in the template has a corresponding place holder, identified by a token, in the rendered template.

21 . The system of claim 18 , wherein, when selecting the rendered template, the one or more processors are further operable when executing the instructions to:

determine a type of content to which the requested content belongs; and

selecting, from the one or more rendered templates, the specific rendered template corresponding to the type of content to which the requested content belongs.
