Templates

Make a site a template

Build a site the way you like it once, then start your team's new sites from it. Its pages, design and images come along, ready to make your own.

1. On Sites, open a site's More site actions, or open the site menu in its editor (your site's name, at the top).
2. Choose Make it a template.

It's still a site you can edit and publish, and its card says Template. A site needs to be built before it can be a template.

Start a site from a template

1. Choose New site.
2. Under Start from a template, choose one.
3. Give the new site a name and choose Create site.

The new site opens in its editor as a demo. It's free: making it uses no credits. Then make it the new business's own: change its name, phone and address in Details, and its words with changes or by editing on the page.

What stays with the template

The new site is a copy of the template's latest version. The template keeps what is its own: its web address and domain, its history, blog posts, form submissions and analytics, and its tracking codes and Search Console tag.

Who can use templates

Anyone on your team who can make sites, a member or more, can make a site a template, start a site from one, and take a site out of the templates with Remove from templates, in the same menus.
