EXPERIENCE
Core Cloud

Portals and communities that feel like products.

We design Experience Cloud sites for customers, partners and employees — powered by LWR, CMS and Data Cloud personalisation.

(01) What it is

What Salesforce offers on Experience Cloud.

Experience Cloud is Salesforce's platform for building branded digital experiences — customer help centres, partner portals, employee hubs and public sites — using Lightning Web Runtime (LWR), a built-in CMS, Salesforce Identity and Data Cloud personalisation, all sharing the same records and permissions as your core org.

(02) Why now

What we hear from Experience Cloud leaders.

  • 01Aura portals are ageing, unbranded and blocked from LWR — customers ask why the site feels stuck in 2018.
  • 02Self-service adoption is flat because search, knowledge and identity flows are fragmented.
  • 03Personalisation is stuck on static audiences instead of Data Cloud signals and Einstein recommendations.

(03) Key challenges

Where Experience Cloud programmes get stuck.

01

Aura sites are ageing and blocked from Lightning Web Runtime (LWR) modernisation.

02

Portals feel like Salesforce forms, not brand-quality product experiences.

03

Identity, SSO and progressive profiling are fragmented across portals.

04

Personalisation is limited to static audiences instead of Data Cloud signals.

(04) Automation & AI areas we deliver

Where we automate Experience Cloud — end to end.

Every engagement targets a specific set of automation and AI plays, scoped so value shows up in weeks — not quarters.

01

AI-powered self-service

Einstein Bots, Copilot and search surfaced natively inside LWR portals.

02

Personalised content delivery

Data Cloud audiences driving components, offers and knowledge in real time.

03

Identity & progressive profiling

Automated auth, SSO, MFA and progressive profile enrichment.

04

Portal-embedded workflows

Flow Orchestrator and Screen Flows for cases, applications and approvals.

(08) Editions & licensing

Which edition fits.

  • Customer / Partner Community

    Per-login or per-member pricing depending on portal type and traffic pattern.

  • External Apps + Identity

    For high-scale consumer-facing sites with progressive profiling and SSO.

(09) Migration paths

Legacy → target state.

  • 01Aura portals → LWR modernisation with a new design system.
  • 02AEM / Sitecore customer portals → Experience Cloud with headless CMS integration.
  • 03Static help centres → Data Cloud-personalised knowledge and self-service.
