Force.com Sites - some real life examples

I am really very excited about the imminent full release of Force.com Sites.

For those of you unaware of what it is, it allows one click publishing of salesforce.com pages directly to a website.

Integrating with your CRM with your website has long been a challenge, and now I'm really excited to see that this is a real achievable goal, without the need to invest in costly custom server side development or middle-ware platforms.

Salesforce.com asked their community to build some sample Sites, to demonstrate the power of the system, before this goes Generally Available, here are 3 sites that have been built solely in Force.com Sites:

- Gaming E-Commerce Site

- Force.com Sites Wiki

- Force.com Sites E-Commerce Shop

What are some sample applications you can use for sites?

- List your upcoming Events (Campaigns) on your website and enable smarter registration.
- Online E-Commerce and Purchasing via a credit card gateway?
- Manage your forms (e.g. Contact Me, Trial Downloads, Whitepapers) dynamically without the need to re-program web-to-lead forms.

Literally, any time you need Dynamic Content on your website, where the content is (or could be) in salesforce.com, you can now do this!
