Create a site and a page

Timing 5 minutes

This is part two of the getting started walkthrough series. Before you can complete the steps here, you must have created your first project and environment.

This topic explains how to use the XM Cloud interface to create the first site and page.

To create your site and page:

  1. If you're still in the Deploy app, after the first project creation and deployment are complete, click Go to XM Cloud to open the XM Cloud Sites tab in a new browser tab. Alternatively, you can navigate directly to https://xmapps.sitecorecloud.io/.

  2. Click Create site.

  3. Choose the empty site.

  4. Name the site XMC Getting Started.

  5. Choose the default language, and click Create site. Wait up to two minutes until the site is created. When it's available, click the newly created site tile to open Pages.

  6. In Pages, the canvas shows three empty placeholders, designated with a plus sign. Locate the Page Content component and drag it onto the second component placeholder.
