As the the user enters data and clicks of Save  and the record is created successfully, which you can find out from the SaveResult object- you can redirect the user to the thankyou page else you can add an error to the object being created which will display the error message in the area where you have used <apex:message>.

In case you want a classy implementation you can avoid the creation of a separate page , by using <div>.

 

Did this answer your question? If not, let me know what didn't work, or if so, please mark it solved.

Take a look at the Force Platform Developer Guide Chapter 14 shows a sample application.

you need to extend the standard controller to have your own save action. in this actin you can save the record via the standard controller and redirect to your own custom page. If you just use the standard controller save action will take user to the standard detail page after save

For to navigate the user to a new page when he clicks on the Save button requires you to use Controller extension that extends your standard controller.

 

for ex: I am using OpportunityLineItem standard controller and then extending it with extension.

VF Page:

<apex:page standardController="OpportunityLineItem" extensions="myControllerExtension" title="Product" tabStyle="Opportunity">
  <apex:sectionHeader title="Opportunity / Product">
    <apex:form >
        <apex:commandButton action="{!save}" value="save "></apex:commandButton>    
        <apex:inputField id="cwSection" value="{!OpportunityLineItem.TotalPrice}" />
        <apex:inputField id="cwService" value="{!OpportunityLineItem.ServiceDate}" />
        ...
    </apex:form>
  </apex:sectionHeader>
</apex:page>

Controller Extension:

public class myControllerExtension {

    private final ApexPages.StandardController controller;
    
    // The extension constructor initializes the private member
    // variable acct by using the getRecord method from the standard
    // controller.
    public myControllerExtension(ApexPages.StandardController stdController) {
        this.controller = stdController;
    }

 
    public PageReference Save()
    {
      OpportunityLineItem  oli = (OpportunityLineItem)controller.getRecord();
      System.debug( 'new value entered is ' + oli.totalprice );
      Update oli;
      Pagereference thanksPage= Page.thanksPage;
      thanksPage.setRedirect(True);
      return thanksPage;
    }
 
}

 

And finally you also need to add the VF pages that you are exposing through Sites to the "Guest" Profile of the sites.

Also make sure that Guest profile has permissions set on the objects that you are exposing through the sites.

 

Hope this helps!
