## Step 1: Customize Your Site

Use the provided documentation from Experience Cloud for optional ways to customize the layout, visuals, and branding of your Service Catalog site.

- [Assign an Audience to a Branding Set](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=experience.networks_audiences_branding_sets.htm&type=5&language=en_US)

- [Update Your Experience Builder Site’s Template](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=experience.communities_update_template.htm&type=5&language=en_US)

## Step 2: Set Your Site Administration Settings

To ensure proper administration of your site, set the proper access and security settings.

1. From Setup, in All Sites, select **Workspaces** next to the name of your Service Catalog site.
2. From Workspaces, select **Administration**.
    
    The Administration page opens.
3. Add members to your Service Catalog site.
    1. From the Administration menu panel, select **Members**.
    2. From Available Profiles, select the cloned community profile name and add it to Selected Profiles.
    3. Save your work.
4. Set your Login & Registration preferences.
    1. From the Administration menu panel, select **Login & Registration**.
    2. From the Login Page Type dropdown, under Login Page Setup, select **Experience Builder Page**.
        
        ![Tip](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-service-support-264-0-0-production-enus/dd14551c-a772-4db6-9a1d-d84df8df2980/images/icon_tip.png)
        
        Tip Default Page is also available for selection per your business needs. We don't recommend selecting the other options.
    3. Ensure that **Allow employees to log in directly to an Experience Cloud Site** is selected.
    4. Save your updates.

## Step 3: Take Your Site Live

Review, save, and publish your Service Catalog site pages and components. Then, activate your site for your customers and partners.

When you publish your Service Catalog site, your site isn’t activated. Publishing only saves the work you’ve completed to build and customize your site. When you’re happy with your site, activate it to provide customers and partners access to the site.

You have the option to make your site public. That way, guest users of your site can access the site without logging in. Guest users are unauthenticated and not members of your Salesforce org.

1. [Preview your Service Catalog site](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=experience.community_designer_preview.htm&type=5&language=en_US).
2. [Publish your Service Catalog site customizations](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=experience.community_designer_publish.htm&type=5&language=en_US).
3. [Activate your Service Catalog site](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.external_identity_activate_your_community.htm&type=5&language=en_US).
4. Optional: Make your site public.
    1. From Experience Builder, click the gear icon to open Settings.
    2. From General, under Public Access, select **Guest users can see and interact with the site without logging in**.
    3. Publish your site to save these changes.
