Adobe Experience Manager Sites Features

Rapid development

Adobe Experience Manager Sites fits seamlessly into existing developer workflows based on web standards — including JS, HTML, and CSS — which is optimal for AI-assistant coding. Robust APIs and boilerplate code make it simple to build customizable, high-performing experiences quickly.

Optimized boilerplate code

Jumpstart development with the Adobe boilerplate code foundation, an enhanced project blueprint that provides an optimal starting point for building experiences that achieve green Core Web Vitals. Developers can get a head start on projects, minimize unnecessary code, and achieve faster page-load time.

Separation of concerns

Get complete developer agility with separation of code, content, and design. This separation lets content authoring occur parallel to design and development, making the process more modular and agile. It also simplifies maintenance by making it easier to develop, debug, and update web applications, improving development speed and efficiency.

Out-of-the-box blocks

Empower authors to quickly create pages with flexible, pre-built blocks for web elements — such as heroes, headings, images, lists, and more — while developers focus on constructing custom components.

Intuitive and usable. Leverage lightweight vanilla JS- and CSS-based components that are reflexive and easy for any author or developer to use.
Fast, accessible, and SEO-optimized. Optimize page performance with blocks built to ensure SEO and accessibility by default.
Structured content output. Generate lean, semantic HTML with consistent structural patterns, making content easier for search engines and LLM-based systems to parse, index, and retrieve.
A lower cost of ownership. Use existing Experience Manager Sites projects to build new blocks, reducing the development and maintenance required for creating a site.

Powerful and purpose-built APIs

Extend Experience Manager Sites with APIs such as GraphQL to power fast, flexible, and consistent experiences across all digital channels.

Relevant data. Query Content Fragments with all the elements, variations, and nested references required for rendering by an app.
Fast, scalable performance. Use persistent queries to ensure fast customer experiences. These cacheable content queries are designed for web architecture and CDN caching.
Powerful structured content. Develop robust and reusable content models, along with modular, reusable pieces of content, by using Content Fragment models that support numerous field types and the ability to create interrelationships.
