Suppose I want to start a site from scratch in Visual Studio 2017....
How would I go about doing that?
Hi wavemaster,
To create an ASP.NET Razor website in Visual Studio:
In the File menu, click New Web Site.
Select the ASP.NET Web Site (Razor) template.
Your new project exists and is populated with some default web pages to help you get started.

if you are using .NET Core then you can refer links below.
