Did you know that new site visitors judge your website within 50 milliseconds of their first visit? If your webpage doesn’t grab your ideal customer’s attention the moment they visit your site, they’ll take their business elsewhere.
So, when it comes to making changes to your webpages – ones that could make or break a critical sale – time is of the essence. This is where Page Designer for Salesforce Commerce Cloud comes in.
Salesforce’s Page Designer (available in the 20.7 and 70.8 Releases) makes those changes even easier. Whether you’re shuffling your homepage to promote a specific product line, or liquidate product through an ad hoc campaign, Page Designer allows you to drag and drop design elements to make dynamic changes visually, without heavy coding.
“In the hyper-competitive battle for shoppers, companies must be able to make changes to their ecommerce sites at the drop of a hat. … Commerce teams can’t afford to wait days or weeks for a developer to make these changes, which is what most sites require. This is what led us to Commerce Page Designer.”
In this blog, we’ll discuss what makes Salesforce Page Designer unique, how it works, and its benefits and limitations.

In this blog, we’ll discuss what makes Salesforce Page Designer unique, how it works, and its benefits and limitations.
What makes Salesforce Page Designer unique. It's intuitive. Now front-end users can pre-build several components with JavaScript and custom CSS, such as sliding banners and product teasers, all by dragging and dropping elements.
This is a huge step forward for businesses that have previously depended on developers for assistance. Now you can create designs independently, schedule and publish custom pages, and reuse components and pre-built layouts to bring your site changes together even faster.There are two types of layouts in Page Designer:
These layouts allow you to place images and write content within pre-defined page elements. While fixed layouts offer a more rigid canvas, they offer a level of stability and ease to businesses looking to get pages published quickly.
If you’re looking for greater flexibility, this layout is best for you. Dynamic layouts allow you to manipulate the design to fit your needs and display as many components as you like using multiple rows and columns.
While choosing the page layout, you need to select one of the following page types. There are two different types of page:
1. Single region
2. 5-row page layout
You can start building these pages by applying CSS styling and UX customizations.

Lastly, the page designer is compatible with JavaScript, as well as pipeline controllers.
Although the benefits of Page Designer outweigh its limitations, there are still some loopholes worth noting:
“The greatest advantage that Page Designer offers is independence. No more depending on developers, or holding your breath, hoping not to break the code.”
