Hi Fire,
This should work:

-Create a new product (here InstantSiteProduct) (from here, your product can
be
accessed through the "Add" list)
-In this product, add a Z Class (name it Instant Site)
-In this ZClass, create your DTML methods (Designer and Builder)

If u need to store properties in the Product, create a propertysheet in this
Z
Class.
U will be able to access these properties from your product methods by using
"<dtml-var propertysheets.your_property >"

and, if u want to change the properties in your methods, use

<dtml-call propertysheets.your_property.manage_changeProperties(
prop1=val1,....,propn=valn)>

One more thing: all your changes on the product modify all the instances of
your
product...

These things should work....
Hope this help

Pierre :)
