Package Development

Standards and guidelines for building Marketpath CMS packages that install cleanly, work together, and stay maintainable.

A Marketpath CMS package bundles templates, stylesheets, javascript, content, and settings so they can be installed on other sites. Packages range from a full site theme down to a single reusable component, and they are most valuable when they work together.

The Package Development Guidelines cover every package: naming, types, organization, documentation, rights, and publishing. Marketpath Site Standards 1 (MPSS1), which is recommended for sites generally, is what lets themes, page packages, and component packages be combined without developer involvement; a package declares it with a standard label. General advice for building any site or component well, packages included, is in Development Practices, and Production Readiness lists what to confirm before a full site goes live.
