Microsoft’s newest component for its low-code Power Platform is called Power Pages, for creating business-centric web sites.

Power Pages debuted as a preview in May, adding a web site tool to the other low-code components of the Power Platform: Power BI (Business Intelligence), Power Apps, Power Automate and Power Virtual Agents. It reached General Availability status at last week’s Ignite 2022 conference.
