Use Aura Components in Experience Builder

To use a custom Aura component in Experience Builder, you must configure the component and its component bundle so that they’re compatible.

As of Spring ’21, you can build Experience Builder sites using two programming models: the Lightning Web Components model, and the original Aura Components model. The Marketing Website template is based on LWC and can only be used with Lightning web components, not Aura components. Other templates are based on the Aura Components model and can use both Lightning web components and Aura components. See the Experience Builder Developer Guide for more information.
