Definition
A Salesforce web content management system (now part of Experience Cloud) that provided a drag-and-drop website builder for creating branded, dynamic web pages hosted on the Salesforce platform without code.
In plain English
“Site.com was a Salesforce web content management system (now part of Experience Cloud) that provided a drag-and-drop website builder for creating branded web pages on the Salesforce platform. Its capabilities have been absorbed into Experience Cloud's site building tools.”
Worked example
Ferncroft Software ran a Site.com-built marketing landing page from 2014 - a drag-and-drop website builder that hosted branded web pages on the Salesforce platform without code. With Site.com absorbed into Experience Cloud's site-building tools, the page was eventually rebuilt on a modern Experience Cloud Site template using Lightning Web Components. The same hosted-on-Salesforce model survived the transition; the underlying page-building tooling modernized. Site.com is referenced today only in legacy documentation; new pages use Experience Cloud.
Why Site.com matters
Site.com was a Salesforce web content management system (now part of Experience Cloud) that provided a drag-and-drop website builder for creating branded, dynamic web pages hosted on the Salesforce platform without requiring coding. It was one of several web-facing products that have been consolidated into Experience Cloud.
Site.com's capabilities have been absorbed into Experience Cloud's broader site building platform. Modern Experience Cloud sites built with Lightning templates provide equivalent and expanded functionality. Any new web-facing Salesforce work should use Experience Cloud rather than legacy Site.com references.
