        only if your content, images have diferent alt, links, diferent tags (it may look the same but be carefull to tags in your page) but all this dont have a big impact, and be careful about your cannonical links, and see in google webmaster tools if crawler has detected any dublicate content

            diferent cms have different impacts on content for example joomla and wordpress have different alternatives to load content, just verify it is better to do so, there alwas a posibility to be a mistake.

              I once had a template change and immediately lost 20% of my traffic.  It took about 3 months to get that traffic back.  I had later spoke to some other web designers and they claimed that changing the side bar menu was something you wanted to do slowly and not dramatically.

                Dublicate content you may have even if you don't change anything the problem is in how the template was made.
