Using Templates (Create Site)

Using a template to create a site allows you to capture your adjustments so that they can be swiftly applied to other WordPress sites, including all the installed plugins or new themes you made while saving the template. InstaWP provides you with the functionality of self-made templates for creating new sites in it that can ease your workload, increase flexibility and provide consistency across the project you are working on.
