# Standard Site Template

This is the standard site template for Adobe Experience Manager as a Cloud Service (AEMaaCS).

<img src="previews/StandardSiteTemplate.png?raw=true" alt="Standard site preview" width="50%">

It can serve as a standard starting point for creating a new site, or as a starting point for creating custom site templates.

## Structure

* `files`: Folder with the UI kit XD file and possibly other files.
* `previews`: Folder with screenshots of the site template.
* `site`: Content package of the content that will be copied for each site created from this template (templates, pages, etc.).
* `theme`: Sources of the template theme to modify how the site looks (CSS, JS, etc.).

## Install on AEMaaCS

* Go to <https://github.com/adobe/aem-site-template-standard/releases/latest> and download `aem-site-template-standard-{version}.zip`
* Upload `aem-site-template-standard-{version}.zip` in AEMaaCS's site creation wizard to create a new site from that template.

## Build locally

Alternatively you can build `aem-site-template-standard-{version}.zip` locally.

1. Install Maven (to be able to use the packaging script).
1. Initialize the project with following command executed at the template root:

   ```bash

   ```

1. To build the site template, run following command executed at the template root:
