Features
Best Practice: Bootstrap your site with all of Adobe’s latest recommended practices.
Low-Code: Edit your templates, create content, deploy your CSS, and your site is ready for go-live.
Cloud-Ready: If desired, use AEM as a Cloud Service to go-live in few days and ease scalability and maintenance.
Dispatcher: A project is complete only with a Dispatcher configuration that ensures speed and security.
Multi-Site: If needed, the archetype generates the content structure for a multi-language and multi-region setup.
Core Components: Authors can create nearly any layout with our versatile set of standardized components.
Editable Templates: Assemble virtually any template without code, and define what the authors are allowed to edit.
Responsive Layout: On templates or individual pages, define how the elements reflow for the defined breakpoints.
Header and Footer: Assemble and localize them without code, using the localization features of the components.
Style System: Avoid building custom components by allowing authors to apply different styles to them.
Front-End Build: Front-end developers can mock AEM pages and build client libraries with Webpack, TypeScript, and SASS.
WebApp-Ready: For sites using React or Angular, use the SPA SDK to retain in-context authoring of the app.
Commerce Enabled: For projects that want to integrate AEM Commerce with commerce solutions like Magento using the Commerce Core Components.
Example Code: Checkout the HelloWorld component, and the sample models, servlets, filters, and schedulers.
Open Sourced: If something is not as it should, contribute your improvements!
