[UX] Create from scratch option on top + categories names/list

[Lucian_Dinu]

Hi! When we create a new Website we are asked to select a template for it.
Most of the times I don’t use any of the templates … so, I need to scroll down to the last option/template called “Blank” (which, by the way, is in the Misc category ?).

I want to have an option on the top like: “Create from scratch” so I don’t have to scroll to the bottom of the page (which is unintuitive).

P.S. Related to the name of the categories… There are a lot of them that don’t make any sense like:

• New - initially I was thinking that this is where I need to go to get the Empty/Blank/New template … but this name is related to a sort order
• A - what is this?
• Active ?
• V
  … there are so many categories that are empty … and I still don’t understand why they are there … it creates a lot of confusion

I agree. Blank Template needs to be on the top. For templates categories, I think this is a bug because under templates page everything is fine but when creating a new site or changing templates of existing site there are lots of additional and empty categories which doesn’t make sense.

@Lucian_Dinu and @Kamil thanks for pointing that out! This is not supposed to like that. We will get this fixed. Thanks!

My workaround so far is to just make my own Boilerplate Template from a project, and just add to that with boilerplate components (like HTML flip cards, SCRIM Gradient SCSS Mixins, etc)

Then I just navigate to “My Templates” and that’s a scratch template with Design System stuff set up already ready to go!

Maybe that helps your workflow during the time being.

Thanks @zachary … Great workaround!
