            Use Site.com to Customize Your Community

            Communities users can use Site.com to build custom, branded pages for a community. There are many approaches to building custom pages for your community, but these actions are some of the typical stages involved.

            Required Editions

            Available in: Salesforce Classic

            Available for purchase in: Enterprise, Performance, and Unlimited Editions

            Available (with limitations) in: Developer Edition
            User Permissions Needed
            To build, edit, and manage a community’s Site.com custom pages:

            Create and Set Up Communities

            OR

            Site.com Publisher User field enabled on the user detail page

            AND

            Site administrator or designer role assigned at the site level
            • Import Assets—Collect the assets, images, and files you plan to use on your custom page. Import the assets into Site.com Studio, where they appear in the Assets section of the Overview tab.
            • Create Branded Pages—The quickest and easiest way to create branded pages is to use the Community Template, which is automatically included with all Site.com community sites. When you create a new page based on the Community Template, the page includes all of the branded styles in your community, including the community’s header and footer. If you want even more control over the look and feel of your community page, you can create your own page template, drag community headers and footers to it from the Widgets section of the Page Elements pane, and add other community styles.
              Note
              Note As of Spring ’15, the Community Template is no longer available for creating communities. If you already have a Site.com that’s based on the Communities Template, it continues to work. For information on creating a community with a new Lightning Community template, see Create an Experience Cloud Site.
            • Use Branded CommunityStyles—Develop the look and feel of your custom pages by using the CommunityBranding style sheet, or by creating branded community styles in your own cascading style sheets (CSS). If you're not completely up to speed with CSS, the Style pane provides an easy, visual way to create and manage styles. Or if you're a CSS expert who likes to get straight into the code, you can hand-code community styles right in your own style sheets.
            • Create Public Pages—Using the template as a base, you can quickly create pages, which automatically inherit all the elements of the page template. Or if you need a standalone page that doesn't follow the overall design, you can create a blank page instead.
            • Make Pages Private—By default, any page you create in Site.com Studio is publicly available. However, you can make pages private so that only logged-in Communities users can access them.
            • Add Features, Page Elements, and Community Widgets—Use Site.com's prebuilt page elements to add features such as navigation menus, images, content blocks, and community widgets. Retrieve data from your organization’s objects and dynamically display it on your site pages using data repeaters and data tables. Alternatively, gather and submit data from visitors using forms.
            • Add and Edit Content—At this stage, the page is usually ready for you to add and edit content such as text, images, videos, and hyperlinks. And as you work, you can upload any images or files you need.
            • Review and Test the Page—Testing the changes to your page happens throughout the development cycle. Always preview your changes to ensure they display as expected in a browser. You can also send a preview link to reviewers so they can review the finished product before it goes live.
            • Publish the Page—After testing is complete, you're ready to make the page available to your community by publishing your changes.
            • Add Authenticated Pages to Your Community’s Tab—Now that the page is tested and published, if you’re working with authenticated pages, the final step is to add the page to a tab in your community.
            • Use Site.com in Sandbox—Site.com is now available on sandbox. When you create a sandbox copy from a production organization, you can include your Site.com sites. You can also copy your sandbox site back to production using the overwrite feature.
