### Creating a web template

```csharp

// Creates a new web template object
WebTemplateInfo newTemplate = new WebTemplateInfo();

// Sets the web template properties
newTemplate.WebTemplateDisplayName = "New site template";
newTemplate.WebTemplateName = "NewSiteTemplate";
newTemplate.WebTemplateDescription = "This is web template created through the Kentico API.";
newTemplate.WebTemplateFileName = "~\\App_Data\\Templates\\NewSiteTemplate";
newTemplate.WebTemplateLicenses = "X";

// Sets the web template order (places the new web template at the end of the list of all templates)
InfoDataSet<WebTemplateInfo> webTemplates = WebTemplateInfoProvider.GetWebTemplates(null, null, 0, "WebTemplateID", false);
newTemplate.WebTemplateOrder = webTemplates.Items.Count + 1;            

// Saves the web template to the database
WebTemplateInfoProvider.SetWebTemplateInfo(newTemplate);

```

    // Moves the template down in the list of all templates
    WebTemplateInfoProvider.MoveTemplateDown(updateTemplate.WebTemplateId);

    // Moves the template up in the list of all templates

// Loops through individual web templates
foreach (WebTemplateInfo template in templates)
{
    // Updates the template properties
    template.WebTemplateDisplayName = template.WebTemplateDisplayName.ToUpper();
