How is force.com different from site com?
I have recently gone through site.com and understand a few steps of creating websites. Now my question is: How is site.com different from a force.com site in end user perspective?
Resolution Force.com Sites:
Force.com sites support both authenticated and public websites (i.e. the legacy portal products).
Included in all Enterprise Edition (or above) and Developer orgs.
Support for custom pages using Visualforce, JavaScript, CSS.
Main target audience is for users that are developers familiar with the above languages. Can access all Force.com objects. Site com:
Formerly called "Siteforce". Is a provisioned (paid-for) product.
Site.com is meant for non-technical administrators as there is no coding necessary.
Drag n drop support for CMS.
Allows custom coding using HTML, CSS, JavaScript.
Includes a security model of who can contribute to and publish sites.
Chatter is supported for contribution of content while chatter is not available on the front end website.
