>>> [!note] Migrated issue <!-- Drupal.org comment --> <!-- Migrated from issue #3526522. --> Reported by: [pameeela](https://www.drupal.org/user/1431110) >>> <p>We are aiming to ship Drupal CMS with three "site templates" to choose from during initial setup (this may be during the actual install or it might be just after during onboarding -- TBC).</p> <h3>What is a site template? </h3> <p>In the generic sense, a site template is a mostly feature-complete Drupal install designed for a specific use case. It should include a theme as well as the minimum features to meet the stated use case.</p> <p>The technical implementation of the site templates themselves, and their inclusion in Drupal CMS, is still to be decided.</p> <h3>What next?</h3> <p>There is still a lot we don't know about how site templates will come together. The Drupal CMS team is in the process of specifying what the initial site templates might include, and the Mediacurrent team is working on designs, as part of the Drupal CMS Design System build.</p> <p>The site templates will be developed as contrib and we will share updates as we have them.</p> <h3>What does this mean for Drupal CMS 2.0?</h3> <p>We will update Drupal CMS itself to be more of a generic foundation, continuing to provide the minimum CMS functionality that users expect, but with the site templates providing use-case-specific elements.</p> <p>Drupal CMS 1.0 shipped with a set of optional content type recipes, designed to cater for a large number of use cases. With site templates being built for more specific use cases, we will remove the optional content types from Drupal CMS and include the relevant content types in the site template.</p> <h3>Issues</h3> <ul> <li><span class="drupalorg-gitlab-issue-link drupalorg-gitlab-link-wrapper"><a href="https://git.drupalcode.org/project/drupal_cms/-/work_items/3526341" class="drupalorg-gitlab-link">https://git.drupalcode.org/project/drupal_cms/-/work_items/3526341</a></span></li> </ul> > Related issue: [Issue #3528683](https://www.drupal.org/node/3528683) > Related issue: [Issue #3533525](https://www.drupal.org/node/3533525) > Related issue: [Issue #3526521](https://www.drupal.org/node/3526521)
