Creating SitesPast, present & future
<= SharePoint 2007 >= SharePoint 2010
Site Definitions
– Deployed to the SharePoint Server
– ONET.xml in [SharePointRoot]\Template\SiteTemplates folder
– WebTemp.xml in [SharePointRoot]\TEMPLATE\1033\XML folder
– Can’t be changed after sites have been created based on it
Site Templates– “Save Site as Template” creates .stp files

Web Templates– Deployed to the SharePoint Server or Solutions Gallery

More features will make the site creation slower
Web Templates best practicesUse “enough” features
Not enough features makes upgrading very challenging
Be careful with Site scoped features – can block sub site creation
![Page 22: SPC220 Web Template FundamentalsCreating Web Templates Using Web Templates Web Templates and App Webs Wrap Up](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061509/56649db45503460f94aa54d3/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Create a hidden web scoped feature
Web Templates best practicesStore Web Template information
Add it to the WebFeatures section of the onet.xml file
Store the Web Template name, feature ID and version in site property bag

Web Templates that are built as sandboxed solutions can be deployed to Office 365
Web Templates in Sandboxed Solutions
Sandboxed solutions are deprecated, but still fully functional in SharePoint 2013
Make sure the sandboxed solution can be removed after creating the site
