Your first Acquia Source site will be created for you automatically. To create additional sites, follow these instructions:

1.  Log in to [Acquia Source](https://source.acquia.com/) to open the Sites Dashboard.
    
2.  Click **Create Site**.
    
3.  On the resulting page, select one of the following options based on your requirement:
    
    *   **Blank Site**: Select this option to create a new site from scratch, with no default sections or components for Drupal Canvas.
        
    *   **Acquia Site Template**: Select this option to create a site with default sections and components, which can be modified after site creation.

    *   **CPG Multi-Brand Site Template**: Select this option to create a site with default sections and components of a demo site. This option is useful for companies that want to rapidly launch multiple new, fully functional, and similar websites for various brands, regions, or campaigns.

    ![Create Site Label](https://acquia.widen.net/content/fb9b1718-34f4-4833-b0f9-ddc8c8c98689/web/23354_acquia-source_create-site-label.jpg?w=480&itok=X9bG9QAt)
    
5.  In the **Site Label** field, enter a name for your site.
    
    The site label is used for generating the admin-only URL to access the site and cannot be edited later. However, custom domains can be added.
    
6.  If you have access to more than one Acquia Source subscription, choose the subscription where you want to create the new site.
    
7.  Click **Start Building** to begin the site creation process.
    
    This process may take a few minutes. You can track the progress on the Sites page.
