FlyWP makes spinning up new WordPress sites incredibly efficient with **Site Blueprints**. Instead of manually installing your favourite plugins, activating themes, configuring user accounts, and running post-deployment configurations every single time, you can use a template to automate the process.

To make things even faster, FlyWP now includes **Global Blueprints**. These are ready-made, optimisation-focused templates preconfigured directly by the FlyWP team. They appear alongside your own custom blueprints during site provisioning, giving you an instant, expert-vetted baseline for your production environments.

## What are Global Blueprints?

While standard blueprints are custom templates created and managed by you or your team, **Global Blueprints** are built-in templates provided natively by FlyWP.

- **Preconfigured Stack:** They come pre-loaded with optimal core settings, essential utility configurations, and structural best practices.
- **No Setup Required:** They are instantly available on your account without requiring any initial composition or file management.
- **Side-by-Side Availability:** When launching a new site, you can choose between your own tailored team blueprints or a FlyWP Global Blueprint from a single dropdown interface.

## How to Provision a Site Using a Global Blueprint

Using a Global Blueprint requires no changes to your standard workflow. You can select them directly during the server or site deployment phase.

**1. Initiate Site Creation**:

Log into your FlyWP dashboard, navigate to your desired server, and click the **Create New Site** button to launch the site installer.

**2. Select the Blueprint Category**:

In the site installation form, look for the **Site Blueprint** option under **Installation page**. Open the dropdown menu. You will see your existing custom team blueprints grouped alongside the new **Global Blueprints** preconfigured by FlyWP.

**3. Review the Blueprint Configuration**

Select the specific Global Blueprint you want to use. The interface will display a quick overview of the pre-packaged plugins, active themes, and default user configurations associated with it.

**4. Finalise and Deploy**

Fill out your remaining site details (such as domain name and PHP version) and click **Create Site**. FlyWP’s automated backend will take over, provisioning the Docker container, installing WordPress, and executing the blueprint payload.

## Blueprint Options Breakdown

When choosing how to construct your site, it helps to understand how the two tiers of blueprints interact in your environment:

| **Feature** | **Custom Blueprints (Your Team)** | **Global Blueprints (FlyWP)** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Origin** | Created manually by you or your agency team. | Pre-built and maintained directly by FlyWP. |
| **Availability** | Restricted to your specific team or account space. | Available universally to all FlyWP users out of the box. |
| **Custom Themes** | Supports premium themes via public `.zip` download URLs. | Uses highly optimised, stable repository frameworks. |
| **Post-Deploy Scripts** | Supports custom WP-CLI automation scripts. | Preconfigured with standardised server-level and application optimisations. |

> **Pro Tip:** If you love a FlyWP Global Blueprint but need to inject a specific premium plugin or API key into it for every project, deploy a temporary site using the Global Blueprint, then add your modifications.
