Accelerate your Sitecore XM Cloud build

Traditional website builds can burn time in the early stages through setting up base pages, navigation, and common components. With the standardisation that Sitecore SXA brings, there’s no reason most of your core requirements can’t be delivered out-of-the-box.

Our proven accelerator does exactly that. It saves months of development spend while providing:

  • Components – Accordions, tabs, FAQs, banners, video, calls to action, heros, quotes, cards, download, icons, bios, quick links, sliders, alerts, image galleries, blogs, breadcrumbs, iframes, modals, social sharing and more.
  • Page types – Author, blog, overview, contact, general content, home, investor, product, press release, resource, news article.
  • Meta data – Meta tagging, content categorisation, JSON/LD and search specific tagging.
  • Content security – Integrated content-editable content security policy management.
  • Page and partial designs – Footer, header, partial designs for all page types, and page branches all included.
  • WCAG 2 Accessibility compliance – Including Aria tagging for all components.
