To create a public-facing website that makes full use of iParts and SOA, it is easiest to copy an existing sample site, such as Member, and change it to meet your needs.
Tip: Start with the master page and theme that is the best match for the look that you want for your new site. For the site you are about to copy, under Site Look and Feel, set the MasterPage and Theme to the one that you want to start with, since the files for the theme specified here will be duplicated for use with your copied site. If you do change themes, be sure to Save and Publish before proceeding.
To copy a sample site
When you copy a website, iMIS duplicates the site navigation, content records, and theme for the new site.
1. Copy and publish a website:
□ Select Site Designer > Manage websites.
□ Select the website you want to copy (such as Member).
□ From the Organize menu, select Copy and select Paste.
Note: iMIS clears any Content Code from copied content records because these codes must be unique across all records. A warning message lists the records affected, if any. See the log file for details.
2. Rename and publish the website:

□ From the Properties tab, change the Name /Title and URL of the new website and click .
□ Select Publish.
3. Rename and publish the content folders:
□ Select Content Designer > Manage content.
□ Select the content folder of the copied website ('Copy of') and select Edit.
□ Change the Title and Folder Name of the new website and click .
□ Select Publish.
□ After all content folders are published, log off and close the browser.
