Creating a SharePoint Site

Introduction

The SharePoint comes with a variety of different types ofsites, such as a team, web, blog, and document center. A siteis a group of related pages and apps where users can collab-orate on projects and share information. Each site caninclude multiple subsites and pages that relate to the mainsite. A subsite can also include its own subsites and pages. Amain site and its group of subsites and pages is called a sitecollection, which create a hierarchy or levels. The main site,also known as the top-level site, requires administration per-missions in order to manage it. When you create a subsite, itinherits the permissions, navigation, and appearance of theparent site, the site from which you created it.

You can create a site by using a SharePoint site template.The template provides the base functionality for the site,which you can add or remove features to customize it. Sitesin SharePoint are organized on the Sites pages, where youcan access them using links, including ones you’re following.You can access a SharePoint site by navigating to the Sitespage and using a site link or entering the complete addressto the direct site. When you work with and maintain a site,there are two main areas you need to know about. One isSite Contents and the other is Site Settings. Site contentsallows you to view and manage all of the libraries, lists,applications, and subsites on the site, while Site Settingsallows you to access the administrative options you need tomanage and customize the site, such as changing the sitetitle, logo, and look. Each site comes with one or more pages,such as the Home page, which you can view or add new onesto customize the site. 3

Each site can also include multiplesubsites and pages that relate to the main site. You can create a sub-site by using a SharePoint site template (New!). A SharePoint templateprovides the base functionality for the site, which you can add orremove features to customize it. SharePoint organizes templates intocategories: Collaboration, Enterprise, Publishing, and Duet Enterprise.However, category and template availability vary based on yourSharePoint edition.
