# Create a Pages website from a new project template
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/issues/47857) in GitLab 11.8.
GitLab provides templates for the most popular Static Site Generators (SSGs).
You can create a new project from a template and run the CI/CD pipeline to generate a Pages website.
Use a template when you want to test GitLab Pages or start a new project that's already
configured to generate a Pages site.
1. From the top navigation, click the **+** button and select **New project**.
1. Select **Create from Template**.
1. Next to one of the templates starting with **Pages**, click **Use template**.
![Project templates for Pages](../img/pages_project_templates_v13_1.png)
1. Complete the form and click **Create project**.
1. From the left sidebar, navigate to your project's **CI/CD > Pipelines**
and click **Run pipeline** to trigger GitLab CI/CD to build and deploy your
site.
The site can take approximately 30 minutes to deploy.
When the pipeline is finished, go to **Settings > Pages** to find the link to
your Pages website.
For every change pushed to your repository, GitLab CI/CD runs a new pipeline
that immediately publishes your changes to the Pages site.
