I am a Java/JSP developer and very familiar with HTML/CSS as well. So I am mostly struggling with the documentation (which may be off for the newer version).</div>

In the link that you sent me on creating the template, on Step 5, it says:</div>

"If you want to create a new site that uses your template, use the "Site Management" in the administration view. Choose "New site" and fill out the form"</div>

However, in v11, I do not see this. When I click on the "Quick Launch" icon and then select "Site Map", I dont see any "New Site" option. So do we know where has this moved in the new version 11, or how to do this? </div>

<div dir="ltr">Hi Nili,<br>
<br>
I understand what you're looking for.<br>
It was the same for me when I (re)started with OpenCms some years ago ...<br>
Well, finally I started step-by-step with the very documentation you mentioned (linked) and can really encourage you to do so, too.<br>
It helped me a lot and very efficiently to get me started with this great and very powerful CMS ...<br>
AND by really working thru the instructions and therefore practicing "real work" (including beginner's mistakes and further doku lookup as needed) I got a good idea how it feels to _really_ work with it ... and detected more and more really well-designed and
helpful features just "by accident".<br>
<br>
Assuming that you're (a bit) familiar with the basic technologies (HTML/XML, CSS, JSP/Java) and what a CMS is, the first chapter<br>
<a href="https://documentation.opencms.org/opencms-documentation/creating-a-website/creating-a-template-jsp/">https://documentation.opencms.org/opencms-documentation/creating-a-website/creating-a-template-jsp/</a><br>
should already be sufficient to help you to get a basic/simple site up and running.<br>
How fast depends on your knowledge about the mentioned technologies ... based on a given (simple) layout as mentioned in "Before you start" it took me less than 1 hour to get the site working to add pages/content.<br>
<br>
Hopefully I was able to encourage you to "take the dive" to explore this great Enterprise CMS.<br>
IMHO it's well worth the "work".<br>
If you're struggling ... don"t hesitate to ask.<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
Gerd<br>
