Sitecore SXA Introduction

                                   What is SXA?

ØWeb development teams use Sitecore Experience Accelerator (SXA) to speed up the production of websites and to reuse components, layouts, and templates across a variety of sites.

ØSXA separates structure from design, so front-end designers, creative designers, content authors, and developers can work in parallel and you can deploy and maintain multiple sites quickly and cost-effectively. Once a basic user experience plan is in place, everyone can get started on the platform.

ØFor example the content author can start entering the content in the wireframe environment, while the front-end developer works on the theme, and the developer sets up the data templates.
