Page Layouts Available on SharePoint 2010's Publishing Site

SharePoint 2010’s publishing site provides a rich editing experience that makes it easy for a non-technical person to create web pages. Adding your content to the page is a snap. SharePoint provides many kinds of content containers that you can use when creating your page, including



  • Single-line text boxes for entering a simple text line, such as the page’s title



  • Multiple-line text boxes for entering paragraphs, bulleted and numbered lists, and tables



  • Tools for adding images, video, and Web Parts




The containers that you see on the page are determined by the page layout used to create the page. The page layout is the template or form that determines what type of content you can put on the page (text, image, and video) and where the content goes on the page.


SharePoint provides a number of page layouts, but you can also create your own. By default, a publishing site uses the Body Only page layout, which provides a single multiline container for adding all your content to the page.


SharePoint provides four types of page layouts. The type of layout you choose is determined by the information you need to display on the page. Within each kind of page layout provided, a number of layouts are available. Each layout provides a different way of displaying the same kind of information. The table provides a summary of the layouts provided for each layout type.
