About SharePoint sites

Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003 offers a variety of site templates based on Microsoft SharePoint Products and Technologies and integration with Microsoft Office 2003. You can use these templates to create Web sites that take advantage of different sets of features, allowing you to facilitate end-to-end collaboration across your organization.

By default, SharePoint Portal Server includes the following sites:

• Portal sites   Find, centralize, and categorize Web-based SharePoint sites from across the enterprise and integrate information from various systems into one solution.
• Team sites   Create team sites to facilitate team collaboration on projects and other efforts.
• Meeting Workspace sites    Help meeting organizers plan meetings, share information with other attendees, track tasks, and more.
• Document Workspace sites    Facilitate ad-hoc collaboration among Office users by providing a central location to share and work on documents, to track document status, and to take advantage of Office integration with Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services.
• Personal sites   Provide personalized and customized information for you. On this site, called My Site, you will find content targeted to you based on membership in a particular audience. In addition, My Site provides quick access to things you need to do your work. This may include links to documents, people, or Web sites as well as personal alerts that you create to track changes to content within the portal and your organization. From My Site, you can also update your public profile and share collections of links with other portal users.

In addition to these sites, you can create custom Web sites by using a Web page editor compatible with Windows SharePoint Services such as Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003.

Note  You must be a member of the SharePoint administrators security group to create additional portal sites.
