I am working on a sharepoint portal project. I am planning to have some custom web templates. And then create new site instances from these template. I will follow this way; create a basic publishing site from sharepoint UI customize it according to my needs (create content types, page layouts, pages, put my custom developed web parts in welcome pages etc etc.) Then i will save it as template, then download the solution file and import that file into the visual studio. So then i have a deployable web template.
Here is my question. I wonder which kind of items will be included in the web template. For example do my webparts be included in the newly created sites?
Thanks
