Power Pages capabilities

Simplified authoring experience for makers

Makers can build powerful and engaging sites without writing a single line of code by using Power Pages design studio. Quickly create new sites by using the default template, or choose from a variety of rich, customizable templates to suit your unique business needs.

AI-powered features with Copilot

Copilot is integrated throughout Power Pages to help makers build sites faster and give site visitors a better experience. Makers can use Copilot to create a site, generate pages, build forms, produce AI-generated text, and create color themes, all using natural language. Site visitors benefit from AI-powered agents that answer questions conversationally, generative AI search, and intelligent form fill assistance.

Advanced development capabilities for pro developers

Pro developers can add advanced capabilities with Visual Studio Code to create powerful business application websites. Automate deployments using Microsoft Power Platform CLI. Use the data workspace for business data modeling and visualization.

Design and responsive rendering

Power Pages natively provides support for building websites that are responsive, mobile-friendly, and available in various form factors. Use a robust set of themes and tools to style your site and apply corporate branding.

Security and governance

Power Pages has inbuilt security at its core. Maintain enterprise-grade security and site management with role-based access controls. Allow users outside your organization to sign in with a wide variety of identities, create and view data in Dataverse, or browse content anonymously.
