Hi i'm trying to find a way to create my own Umbraco Template,
i'll try to make it more clear; i've already created my Umbraco Site, and i'm seeking a way to create a second one based on the structure of the first.
You can create a package of your site, by going to Developer > Packages. In here you would add the necessary files, doctypes, datatypes, macros, nodes etc. for your starter kit.
When you save/publish. You can download a zip with your starterkit, which you then just need to install in your new site.
A follow up to this question. It appears the developer provided me with more than just a template, it has additional components presumably associated with the Umbraco backend itself, which I don't need. I want to use the correct terminology when I reach out to the developer. Can you give me a little direction on this so I ask for the correct package?

Thank you that's a good idea
Hi all -
I realize this is an old thread, but as a follow up, what's the process for installing the package once it's been created?
Thanks in advance.
Package installing is by going to the Developer section and clicking on packages. Then on the top right you'll see 'Install local'.
Install local might not be what you want but if I understand correctly the previous response it should be what you're looking for.
Thanks Harry, I'll give that a try!
Hope it helps. Let me know if it worked, because I haven't actually done that, but that's how you instal zip packages.
