# Use templates to create apps
### What you will create
Create a travel app using one of the provided templates. The template inserts the required YAML in the correct format. Use the template as a base on which to build when creating a jig. If the template by default provides the functionality you need, publish your Jigx project to use the jig on your mobile device. \
**Build time:** 5 mins

Before you start building your first solution, ensure you have created a [Jigx's account](https://docs.jigx.com/getting-started/creating-an-account) and [Install the Jigx Builder](https://docs.jigx.com/getting-started/install-the-jigx-builder).
{% endhint %}
#### Step 1: Create a new solution in Jigx Builder
1. Open VS Code, and click on the Jigx Builder **icon** in the left navigation bar. Select the **Create New Jigx Solution** button.
2. Type **World Travel** in the Solution title field and press enter. This name displays at the top of your solution on the Home Hub in the Jigx App.
3. The *Solution name* field automatically pre-populates with the solution's system name world-travel. Press **Enter.**
4. For this solution select the **business** category.
5. Select a local folder where the project files are saved too. Your Jigx default solution files open in the VS Code editor with the .jigx extensions ready for editing.

#### Step 2: Choose a template
1. In Explorer expand the **jigs** folder and click on `myfirstjig.jigx` file. The Jigx auto-complete popup displays.
2. Click on **use template** to open the list of templates.
3. Under **Default** hover-over \*\*Default jig 6 \*\*and click the blue insert button.
4. The jigx file is populated with the YAML for the template.
5. Change the title to ***Thailand*** as the `title` for your jig.
6. The `myfirstjig.jigx` file is already referenced in the `index.jigx` file which is the home screen file (Home Hub).

{% column %}
1. On your mobile device **tap** the Jigx app icon.
2. Sign into the app with your [Jigx account](https://docs.jigx.com/getting-started/creating-an-account) details.

Yes it is that simple to build apps in Jigx. Explore further by either editing the YAML in `myfirstjig.jigx`; or adding additional files under the jig folder, add another template, reference the file in `index.jigx` and publish the solution.
