An HTML5 template enables you to quickly create an HTML5 project that contains the files and a structure that is based on the template. A site template can help you quickly develop a project by providing some JavaScript, CSS and HTML files that you can then modify according to your needs.

When you create an HTML5 project in the New Project wizard you can choose to use a site template .zip archive that is located on your local system, specify the URL of an online template or select a template from the list of popular site templates in the wizard.

Creating a Site Template

You can use the IDE to create a site template that is based on your project by performing the following steps.

1. In the Projects window, open the HTML5 project that is the model for your template.
2. Right-click the HTML5 project and choose Save as Template in the popup menu.
3. Specify the name and where you want to save the template.
4. Specify the files that you want to include in the template. Click Finish.

Any template that you save is automatically added to the Select Template dropdown list in the New HTML5 Application wizard.
