Before You Begin Building an LWR Site
Build Your Own (LWR) is a minimal template in Experience Cloud that provides only the
most essential pages and components, so to build a functioning site, you need to add your own
custom pages and components. Therefore, this template is best suited for developers who are
comfortable developing Lightning web components and working with Salesforce DX, User Interface
API, and Apex. The Microsite (LWR) template includes a responsive layout, preconfigured pages,
and content components that you can use to quickly spin up a landing page, event site, or other
web experience. Depending on your use case, the template doesn’t necessarily require much
additional customization.
You can create LWR sites for Experience Cloud in Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions.
To use this guide successfully, you need an org with Digital Experiences (formerly Communities) enabled. You also need experience:
- Using Experience Builder to build sites
- Developing Lightning web components
- Working with Salesforce DX, User Interface API, and ApexResources
