CPanel Site Publisher Templates

[Paul Kelly ICHYB]

CPanel comes with several basic templates to allow users to create a quick a simple website/page.

I am trying to get hold of some additional designs/templates, ideally a pack of several!

Does anyone know of where I can get these (I could create/design them myself but do not have the time at present).

There are a few different ways to build sites in cPanel from "Softaculous" to "Site Builder". Which is it you're referring to?

The quick landing/holding page builder built into CPanel is called Site Publisher - that's the one I would like to get some new templates for.

I see! I had a quick search myself and couldn't find anything at all on Google.

Exactly - it is strange.

As mentioned, they are not that technical to prepare, even for a Luddite like me, but I guess I will have to find the time or use a developer/designer!

Given you mention it's a pretty basic website/page you're after and you have little time, have you considered a CMS such as WordPress?

Nowadays you can build pretty much anything you like with the new editor, and most of it is drag and drop.

@ctrlbrk No, I want more of these pages for a specific project.

I'm curious, for what reason could you specifically only want this method of building a website?

Paul.

 

[Paul Kelly ICHYB]

To meet the needs of some startups!

BTW, I don't only want this method, but it is the one I need for a specific project.

To meet the needs of some startups!

But what needs exactly are met by this little-known cPanel tool and not by WordPress?

Setting up a web presence in seconds.

Not everyone wants (or needs) a full blown site.

Setting up a web presence in seconds.

If it's just a single page with a bit of info, there are loads of other ways to do that, not just with this arcane cPanel tool.

Maybe, but this serves a use, why change it/make it more complicated?

Maybe, but this serves a use, why change it/make it more complicated?

Because it doesn't serve your purpose, hence your question.

And it can be made simpler still by just using a static HTML template.

Paul.

 

[Paul Kelly ICHYB]

These are, essentially, static HTML pages, but with slots to add in your details!

Exactly, so a template from one of the big template sites would be just as good!

Not really. The creation process includes 'fill the gaps' e.g. name, numbers, email etc, which then populates the page....

True but surely it would be quite easy just to edit the file and enter that text?

Not for the client - not everyone is a HTML tech whiz!

KISS!

So why don't you explain more clearly how you see the process going as you've been quite enigmatic so far about what you're trying to achieve?

Paul.

 

[Paul Kelly ICHYB]

Paul,

what I am trying to achieve is get more templates for CPanel Site Publisher!

In that case it sounds like you'll need to pay a designer/developer to build some as there don't appear to be any available.

Paul.

 

[Paul Kelly ICHYB]

and that's what I am now in the process of doing!

and that's what I am now in the process of doing!

You could even be the first to sell them as templates once they're done!

I wonder if Theme Forest and the like allow you to create totally new categories ...

Paul.

 

[Paul Kelly ICHYB]

Funny enough, I was also thinking that!!!!

But, as there isn't anything out there already, there probably isn't a demand..... Maybe I just have too niche a need!
