Get to Know the LWR Templates for Experience Cloud

Experience Cloud has an existing Aura-based Build Your Own template, which supports Aura components and Lightning web components. But the Build Your Own (LWR) and the Microsite (LWR) templates are based exclusively on the Lightning Web Components programming model and Lightning web components. Powered by the Lightning Web Runtime (LWR), these lightweight templates are designed to scale well and load quickly, and support fully customized solutions.

In addition to being based solely on Lightning web components, the Build Your Own (LWR) and Microsite (LWR) templates include several other features that make them distinct. Let’s take a closer look.
