Dont Start Your Next Website Build Without This XM Cloud Secret Weapon

At Nishtech, there's something we've been playing with a bit lately. An open-source repository from the Sitecore Demo Team featuring a headless multi-site solution focused on XM Cloud content and site management capabilities.

Best of all, it's ready to go with 1-click. In minutes. Literally. We know, because we had some demo sites up and running in a matter of a few minutes.

What's This All About?

This project is the culmination of everything the team has learned from recent XM Cloud projects. It's lean, simple, and incredibly powerful, featuring out-of-the-box theming with two themes and two color schemes. In other words, it's a toolkit that lets you build pretty much any site you can dream up.

✨ 42 beautiful custom components - enough to build any site you can dream up
🌍 Multisite support (3 sites ready to go, and more can easily be added)
🇨🇦 Multilingual (English and French-Canadian)
🌓 Light and dark themes
🔗 Single rendering host (with some magic to make it work for completely different sites)
🎨 Custom component variants/styles
🎯 Embedded Personalization
📄 Seamless integration with Pages

It's built exclusively for XM Cloud, using a Pages-first, headless approach by front-end developers. If you're setting up multisite environments or creating personalized user experiences, this project has the flexibility and power you need.

Show me the demos!

To showcase what's possible, the team has created two sample sites using the same set of components:

1. Financial Industry Site

Explore Here – A sample banking website with a clean and professional look, perfect for industries that require a sleek and reliable online presence.

2. Web Agency Site

Check It Out – A bold, modern, and visually striking site for a web agency. It highlights how flexible and dynamic the theming and component system can be, ideal for creative industries.

Who is this for?

Is this a tool for prospective XM Cloud end-users or an arsenal for developers?
Both.

For Prospective XM Cloud End-Users

At Nishtech, we can leverage these libraries to have demos up and running in a matter of minutes. So, this library has been a fantastic way for Nishtech to showcase the platform's capabilities to our clients and potential XM Cloud users. The ready-made components and themes allow us to see firsthand how XM Cloud right out of the box offers a ton of features and functionality, but can quickly and easily be customized to your specific needs. It's incredibly useful to have a live, tangible demo that we can share links with clients for them to try out themselves.

For Developers

This project is an arsenal for developers looking to see best practices in building XM Cloud front-end components. You can dive into the code, learn from the examples, and even copy what works for you. It's a great way to accelerate your development process and build sites that are both beautiful and functional. Borrow away!

For Nishtech

This project re-enforces some of the best practices we've already been building into our demos and opens the door for helping to streamline some of our demo and development workflows. Nishtech already has 1 industry accelerator, NXA (Nishtech Experience Accelerator ) for Healthcare. Of course, a spin on SXA, we couldn't resist. So, now we can add our industry leading Healthcare Accelerator with best in class health system integrations to some baseline components straight from Sitecore's library.

Interested?

This new open-source project from the Sitecore Demo Team is more than just a collection of components. It's a resource that bridges the gap between exploring capabilities and implementing them. If you're considering XM Cloud, let us show you around.
