# Creating a Starter Site 2023

**Supercharge Your Website Development Process  
with a Starter Site based on the Kadence Theme**

A starter site is a single WordPress site that you can replicate and use as a starting point for all future website development. We repeat the same work for most website builds…

- Install WordPress
- Configure WordPress
- Customize the Theme
- Add Common Pages
- Add Common Functionality, etc…

The purpose of a starter site is to eliminate the repeated work you do each time you build a website for a client.

Why this Course is Important

**Efficiency**  
When you eliminate repetitive tasks in site building, you’ll see a drop in the time needed to finish projects.

**Proficiency**  
When you use the same toolset and the same process for each project, you’ll get better and better at what you do.

**Confidence**  
When you streamline your tools and process, how you think about yourself, your work, your clients, and your pricing will change.
