SDL Digital Experience Accelerator
The SDL Digital Experience Accelerator, or DXA for short, helps you create, design and publish an SDL Web-based Web site quickly by doing the groundwork for you: it consists of Publications that are ready to publish to a dynamic, responsive and device-independent Web site with a customizable HTML design.
DXA creates a foundation for you to build on and reduces the SDL Web domain knowledge required to develop front-end (Web application) functionality. It provides a standard for creating and sharing content-related Web application functionality and widgets to optimize and accelerate the delivery of SDL Web Web sites with rich user experiences.
- Audience
-
Using DXA requires the following familiarity with SDL Web:
- Developers or Implementers are expected to know how to set up Content Delivery and publish content from Content Manager.
- Editors are expected to be familiar with the Content Explorer and Experience Manager user interfaces.
- Objective
- You can use DXA to create a basic Web site quickly with as goal to get developer familiar with SDL Web and its concepts, or as a foundation to kick start your own SDL Web implementation.
- Example Site
- An example Web site is installed with DXA containing stock content and pages used to illustrate the different content types and layouts available. The content is royalty free, so you can build your site by extending the example site. You can also start from scratch and create a new Web publication to manage your Web site.
- Disclaimer
- The reference implementation provided by DXA is not intended to be a one-size-fits-all solution for all requirements. SDL Web is an enterprise CMS which can be implemented to support almost any publishing model and Web application architecture. This reference implementation is just one example of how SDL Web can be implemented and may not be the best solution for your organization's requirements.
