a layout is how you position the elements in your page, a template is a like a reusable page that uses an specific layout.

The layout is the way the page looks, its usually called UI. SO e.g. on top you have header with navbar. On the side you have the sidebar, and on your other side you have another sidebar.

A tempalte is e.g. having a layout already made, which will save you the time to write all the positioning, like sidebar width 30% etc.. as youv already done that before.

If you have made 100pages, and you get a 101 client, you coudl just probably use a tempalte of one of the pages youv already done, and you woudl done it with no time.
