We’re putting the finishing touches on the SharePoint Shepherd’s Guide for 2013 and I was trying to figure out the best way to point users to the right site template to use. As a part of that I decided that it would be fun to stack rank order the site templates that will be used the most – so that I know where to position them on the decision tree. Here’s my order from most frequently to least frequently used:
- Team Site
- Project Site
- Publishing Site
- Publishing Site with Workflow
- Enterprise Wiki
- Blog
- Business Intelligence Center
- Community Site
- Records Center
- eDiscovery Center
- Document Center
- Community Portal
- Enterprise Search Center
- Basic Search Center
- My Site Host
- Developer Site
- Product Catalog
- Visio Process Repository
Do you agree with this order? — Or do you have your own?

Hey, interesting post. But why not just let people vote and summarize the results. For example I use only Business Intelligence template
We have IT Support and CRM that are on the top of our list of applications, although our Intranet Portal the newest app. is receiving lots of attention.
This looks pretty accurate to me. In our environment team site is by far the leader. Publishing site would be a bit lower in the list for us although the Publishing feature is enabled on many sites.
