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

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 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
npm install
```
1. To build the site template, run following command executed at the template root:
```bash
npm run build
```
1. The site template ZIP file is now located below the template root: `aem-site-template-standard-{version}.zip`.
