# Site Kit Guide

Export a complete site package and import it on a new WordPress install — ideal for agency workflows and client duplicates.

**Requires Ultimate Bundle.**

## What’s in a site kit

A site kit `.zip` typically includes:

- Theme settings and brand colors
- Homepage and page layouts
- Customizer / theme mod values
- Menu structure
- Selected media references (where supported)

It does **not** replace WordPress core, plugins, or WooCommerce product data unless you export those separately.

## Export a site kit

1. **EasySite Setup → Site Kit**
2. Click **Download site kit**
3. Save the `.zip` securely — treat it like a client backup

Export after you’ve finished building and before handoff, so the kit reflects final content.

---

## Import a site kit

On a **new** WordPress site:

1. Install and activate EasySite Pro (Ultimate) + child theme
2. Complete **EasySite Setup** (minimum: steps 1–2)
3. **EasySite Setup → Site Kit**
4. Choose the `.zip` file → **Import site kit**
5. Review the homepage in the visual editor
6. Activate license and invite the new client

> Import overwrites theme settings and layouts tied to the kit. Back up the target site first if it has existing EasySite content.

## Demo site kits

Built-in demo kits for quick starts:

| Kit | Best for |
|-----|----------|
| **Business** | General services site |
| **Beauty** | Salon / spa |
| **Coach** | Coaching / consulting |
| **Shop** | WooCommerce storefront |

1. **EasySite Setup → Site Kit**
2. Select a demo kit → **Import**
3. Customize in the visual editor

Demo kits ship with placeholder copy and images — replace before launch.

## Typical agency workflow

```
Build client A  →  Download site kit
       ↓
New WordPress   →  Import kit  →  Swap logo/colors/copy
       ↓
Invite client B →  Hand off with CLIENT-GUIDE.md
```

Saves hours vs rebuilding sections from scratch.

## Best practices

- **One kit per niche** — e.g. “Dental starter”, “Restaurant starter”
- **Strip client-specific data** before reusing a kit (names, emails, analytics)
- **Document** which plugins the kit expects (WooCommerce, etc.)
- **License:** Each imported site needs its own Ultimate activation (or Agency Pack slot)

## Troubleshooting

| Issue | Fix |
|-------|-----|
| Import fails | Check zip size limits (`upload_max_filesize` in PHP) |
| Missing images | Re-upload media or re-link in visual editor |
| Menu wrong | Reassign menus under Appearance → Menus |
| Site Kit menu missing | Ultimate license must be active |
