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.
