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.

Two documents govern how packages are built. The Package Development Guidelines cover every package: naming, composition, organization, code, documentation, and quality. Marketpath Site Standards 1 (MPSS1) is a stricter standard on top of those guidelines that lets themes, page packages, and component packages be combined without developer involvement. Best Practices for Package Creation turns both into practical habits and a checklist.
