Most definately; I find the alternative to using a templates (ie embedding php in html) to be messy even with smaller sites. Template engines, amongst other things, allow one to write cleaner more modifiable code (both php and HTML) as one does not obscure the other. Of the template engines I have used, Smarty is the most sophisticated in terms of features and is easiest to use - a winning combination!! (It also comes with the very comprehensive manual and an active, well supported email list)
