A build-ordered guide to making a Marketpath site: what to decide first, how templates work, common recipes, good practice, the MPSS1 standard, what to confirm before launch, and how to publish a package.
The pages in this section follow the order most builds go in, and each answers one question. Planning and Strategy covers what to decide before building. Templating Mechanics covers how a template gets its inputs, composes from other templates and assets, makes output safe, works with lists and uses per-visitor state. Common Development Patterns holds recipes for tasks that combine those mechanics. Development Practices gives recommendations, with reasons, for building any site or component well. Marketpath Site Standards 1 (MPSS1) is the standard recommended for nearly every site. Production Readiness lists what to confirm before a site goes live. Package Development covers what is specific to publishing a CMS package.
This is one useful order, not a gate; most builds move back and forth between these pages.
