The Microsite Template
The Microsite template is the foundation for your small, special-purpose websites. Microsites are often used by companies that already have a full site but want a dedicated space for a single communication or conversion goal. Microsites work well to host an idea or product that requires more content than a single landing page. Built on the Lightning Web Runtime (LWR) platform, the template includes responsive layout and content components that you can use to quickly spin up a landing page, event site, or other web experience. Capture visitor information and send it directly to the Lead object with the Lead Form component.
Included Features
- Experience Builder example design and components
- Ability to route lead information directly to the Leads object
- Ability to send contact information directly to Marketing Cloud Engagement data extensions
- Access to the LWR framework
- Direct connection to Salesforce CMS to pull in CMS content
Advanced Features That You Can Configure
- Pre-built and custom components. Check out the full list of compatible components you can use to build out your LWR site at Standard Components for LWR Templates.
- A quick start repository with sample component code. Use the example code to create and customize your own components. To access the repository, see Experience Cloud Microsite Samples.
Microsite Use Case
When your company is hosting an event, you need a place to keep all your event information that doesn’t necessarily live with your other content. Enter microsites. Publish your page with all the event information, pull in logos and other content that you created in CMS, and archive the page when the event is over.
When you want to promote a specific product or opportunity, consider using a microsite to host your content. You can choose to associate the URL with your full company website, or create a new, dedicated domain.
