To deploy the Magic Portfolio template with Appwrite Sites, follow these steps:
37
+
38
+
## Create site
39
+
40
+
After signing into your Appwrite console, look at the sidebar on the left. Under the **Deploy** section, you will find the **Sites** button.
41
+
42
+
Clicking it opens the Sites page. Here, you will see the **Sites** tab selected by default. Click **Create site** to start the deployment process.
43
+
44
+
45
+
46
+
At this point, Appwrite offers two options: **Clone a template** or **Connect a repository**. For this guide, we will focus on cloning the Magic Portfolio template, which lets you quickly set up a portfolio site based on a pre-built project.

## Configuring your site
64
+
65
+
### Setting up site details
66
+
67
+
Once you have selected the Magic Portfolio template, you will be prompted to enter basic details for your site.
68
+
69
+
You will need to provide a **Site name** and a **Site ID**. The Site ID becomes part of your site's URL, so it should be lowercase and use hyphens if necessary.
70
+
71
+
72
+
73
+
At this stage, you can choose whether to connect your repository now or later.
74
+
75
+
76
+
77
+
If you choose **Connect your repository**, you will be able to either create a new repository based on the template or link it to an existing one. If you prefer to skip this step for now, you can choose **Connect later** and connect your version control later using the CLI or through the settings page.
78
+
79
+
If you opt to connect a repository immediately, you will see the following options:
80
+
81
+
- Select whether to create a new repository or connect to an existing one
82
+
- (Optional) Choose a GitHub organization if you have access to multiple organizations
83
+
- Name your repository if you are creating a new one
84
+
- Decide whether to keep the repository private by ticking the checkbox
85
+
86
+
Additionally, you can define the domain for your site, using the Appwrite Sites domain.
87
+
88
+
After reviewing your configuration, click **Deploy**.
89
+
90
+
91
+
## Monitoring the deployment
92
+
93
+
Once you initiate the deployment, you will be taken to a progress page where you can monitor the build and deployment in real time.
94
+
95
+
The logs will show you the different stages of the build process. Depending on the size of your template and the dependencies involved, this process can take anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes.
96
+
97
+
98
+
99
+

Appwrite provides a few options to help you continue setting up or expanding your project.
108

109
+
You can **Add domain**, connecting an existing custom domain you own or registering a new one through the console.
110
+
111
+
You can **Share site**, allowing you to collaborate with your team by sharing access to your project.
112
+
113
