Site Customization



The best thing is you can decide how to customize its top-level site.WSS provides many options for configuring and customizing sites.In the top-right corner of the page, you can see the Site Actions menu. This menu provides commands that allow you to create new site elements, customize the current page, and navigate to the Site Settings page.

But the thing is , customizing is visible only to the users who has the sufficient level of permissions. ;)

The Create Page

Create Page allows users to customize the current site by creating new site elements  such as lists, document libraries, Web Part Pages, and child sites.



These standard element types have been designed to facilitate team-level collaboration. They include list types for collaborating on list-based items such as announcements, contacts, links, calendar events, tasks, and issue tracking.
