Note To create an Experience Cloud site, you must enable Digital Experiences for your org and register the domain. See [Enable Digital Experiences](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleview?id=experience.networks_enable.htm&type=5).

1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, find and select **All Sites** under Digital Experiences.
2. On the Digital Experiences page, click **New**.
3. On the Lightning Experience guided flow, choose the **Education Portal** template. Alternatively, you can choose Build Your Own to develop a custom site.
4. Click **Get Started**.
5. Provide a name for the site and click **Create**.
6. Click **Administration**.
7. Click **Members**.
8. Add System Administrator and all of your community profiles to the Selected Profiles section.
9. Save your changes.

Use Experience Builder to customize and add features. See [Customize Sites with Experience Builder](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleview?id=experience.community_designer_overview.htm&type=5).

If you have the required permissions but encounter errors while creating an Experience Cloud site, verify that your org has these Apex classes. To see your Apex classes, from Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Apex Classes, and then select **Apex Classes**.

- `SiteLoginController`
- `SiteLoginControllerTest`
- `SiteRegisterController`
- `SiteRegisterControllerTest`

If your org doesn't have all of the required Apex classes, retrieve the missing classes from another org, such as a sandbox, and then deploy them to your org. See [Choose Your Tools for Developing and Deploying Changes](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.code_tools_ant.htm&type=5&language=en_US).
