Let’s look at SharePoint Building Blocks
Sites– Organize content by function or purpose (i.e. department site)
Pages– Displays content on a site. Different layouts
Web Parts (Apps)– Components that displays certain content (i.e. document
library, calendar, etc.)
Views– Control how information is displayed
Security– Controls who sees the information displayed
