Three templates are available for you to quickly set up an Aura Service Catalog site:

- [Build Your Own (Aura)](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=experience.rss_build_your_own_pages.htm&type=5&language=en_US)
- [Customer Account Portal](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?language=en_US&id=sf.rss_customer_account_portal_pages.htm&type=5)
- [Customer Service](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=experience.rss_napili_views.htm&type=5&language=en_US)

![Important](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-service-support-264-0-0-production-enus/dd14551c-a772-4db6-9a1d-d84df8df2980/images/icon_important.png)

Important Catalog categories are supported only on Aura templates. Data Categories are supported only on LWR templates.

The Customer Account Portal, and Customer Service templates, require minimal setup of the Service Catalog pages and components. The pages and components are installed when you create a site and choose a template. For these templates, setup requires:

- Verification of the Service Catalog pages that are added automatically
- Configuration of the standard Search page and site navigation menu
- Optional configuration of the Home page and Service Catalog Request pages

Alternatively, for the BYO Aura template, the site installation doesn’t include the Service Catalog pages and components. You must set up all pages and configure the components.

For all templates, the site installation excludes setup of the Service Catalog Request page. This page provides a list and the record details of a user’s Service Requests using the standard Record Detail, Record List and Record Banner components from Experience Cloud. The page setup is optional based on your business needs.

Before you take the steps, review [Find Your Way Around Experience Builder](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=experience.community_designer_ui.htm&type=5&language=en_US).

Tip Deactivate your community in the administration settings of your site. Be sure to complete all steps without interruption and then publish your site to save the changes. If you stop before completing all steps, publish your changes before leaving Experience Builder.
