Currently the Themes are separated into a templates folder and an assets folder.

I think it would be very easy for a user first coming to the system and jumping in without reading any documentation, to assume that he should put his site assets (content) in the assets folder. This will cause a problem if they then decide to install a new theme as the current methodology is to overwrite both the templates and assets folder.

My suggestion would be to as follows:
The folder:
/html/assets
and its subdirs should be reserved for user files.

The folder:
/html/templates
should contain both the template file(s) and an "assets" folder containing the template assets
