Here's a simple example of how to do this.  My page just has the account name, but you can easily add some more fields.

 

Page:

 

 

<apex:page controller="CreateAccountController" sidebar="false" standardstylesheets="false"
    showheader="false">
<h1>Create Account</h1>
<apex:form >
<apex:inputText value="{!acc.name}"/><br/><br/>
<apex:commandButton action="{!Save}" value="save" />
</apex:form>
</apex:page>

 

 

Controller:

 

 

public  class CreateAccountController 
{
  public Account acc {get; set;}
  public CreateAccountController()
  {
    acc=new Account();
  }
  
  public void Save()
  {
    insert acc;
    acc=new Account();
  }
}

 

 

You'll need to add the visualforce page to the site.  if your site is available to unauthenticated users, you'll need to add the VF page to the guest user profile, reachable from the public access settings button.

Hi, u just add  VF pages in the sites. Controller classes will be automatically fired or exceuted . links should be given using  PageReference object.

PageREference ref= new PageReefernce();

for example, if(condition)

{

    ref=new PageReference('/urpage');

}

 

else

ref=new PageReference('/urpage');

Depending on your edition you can create mutliple sites.  You can then point the other company at a different site to yours.

Ok...I am developing in Developer Edition.....You know by Developer edition we can create only one site....

 

My doubt is, now i created a domain and site(in other comapny name) in developer Edition for free.

 

then i will give that url to that other company, they are not having any idea about salesforce and all.......

 

Simply they type url in browser and access the web application(like normal websites)......

 

My doubt is, they want to pay any money for using that site.....How long time they can access these for free???? ....this is my doubt for lon time..........
new2forcenew2force

even u develop for other company, then what. . u r developing for other company. its ok .they will give that URL to their users. in future if they need any changes , they will come to u. In ur case, it may be like u r hosting the website for them and ur company is charging them or u guys  may be providers having developers and developing for  customers .

 

In my case, before i am into my company(client), my client have their work done by some SFDC solution provider. they gave all pages ,triggers in packages and we have them in our SFDC account now. among those, I kept whatever i need in sites. thats it . we gave theURL to our users
