Customization: While low-code, Power Pages offers a good degree of customization through drag-and-drop functionality and pre-built components. You can design webpages, style them with themes, and incorporate interactive elements.

Collaboration: Multiple users can work on a Power Pages project simultaneously, facilitating teamwork and efficient website development.

Target Users: Power Pages caters to a broad audience. Business users with limited coding experience can leverage its low-code approach. Developers can also use it to build more complex functionalities.

Scalability: Power Pages scales to meet your needs. Whether you’re building a simple landing page or a complex multi-page website, Power Pages can handle it.

Important Benefits of Power Pages
