Want a contact form? Integration with Facebook? Web analytics? Free apps exist for these and many other tasks, and it takes just a few minutes to add them to your Office 365 Public Website.
1. In Office 365, click Sites>Public site tile.
2. Click the Settings gear icon on the top right of the page, and Add an app.
Don't see the Settings gear icon? Try adding \pages to the end of your website address (URL). For example, if your site is https://contoso-public.sharepoint.com/, then change it to this
https://contoso-public.sharepoint.com/pages
If you're still stuck, see Edit your public website. You need to be in edit mode on the Public Website to see the Settings gear icon on the top right.
3. See what's available in the SharePoint Store.
4. Under Categories, select Public-facing Websites, and select an app.
5. You’ll see the ADD IT button:
6. You’ll be prompted to sign in using your Microsoft account. This is the only tricky part – you can’t use your Office 365 account. If you already have a Microsoft account, use it. Otherwise you can create a new Microsoft account using your Office 365 email address.
7. You’ll be prompted to confirm that you want the app, guided to return to your site, and then asked whether you trust the app. Once you complete these steps, the app is added to your site.
8. Next, you need to configure it and put it where you want it. To learn how to use the app, click …, and then click HELP.
9. For many apps, all you need to do is go to the Public Website page where you want the app, go to Page>Edit >Insert>App Part, select the app, and then click Add.
10. Once you're done with the page, click Save or Save and Publish if you're ready for your changes to go live.
