]]> Hey Everyone!

Today i will talk about SharePoint Site Templates, and explain the main difference between each template and how it is extremely important to have in mind what each version can offer you in terms of features and capabilities to meets your business needs.

So the first thing you must know is there are 3 main categories of templates:

  • Collaboration
  • Enterprise
  • Publishing

For each category you have different site types, when you create a new site the “site type” define the purpose of the new one and includes all the features.

Collaboration site templates:
  • Team Site – This template can be  used when you what organize and share information with your team or project members, this template includes lists and libraries for: Share Documents, Announcements, Calendars, Links, Tasks, Discussion Board.

  • Blog Site – This template can be  used when you what announce company announcements, post ideas, observations, expertise with your team organization. It is easy  start a new blog, including Comments and Links.

  • Project Site – With this site template it is so much easy to manage your projects, it is an upgrade of Team Site but this one have more functionalities including Projects Summary, Task Lists. Calendar Sharing, Task Scheduler, Visual Timeline of the Project’s Tasks.

  • Community Site – It is more than a Blog Site, this template you can create a place where you can discuss topics that you have in common with others team members, it is more easy and you have more benefits over email, with a full retention of discussion history in compliance with corporate guidelines.
Enterprise site templates:

  • Records Center Site – This template is indicated when you what organize, store and manage records such as legal or financial documents, the site includes versioning, auditing, metadata management, eDiscovery feature to help manage records more effectively.

  • Business Intelligence (BI) Center Site – This is one of my favorite site template, you can store, manage, share and view business reports, scorecards and dashboards. This template includes Performance Point Service, a service very important to build dashboards inside of SharePoint.

  • Search Center (Enterprise or Basic) Site – A template dedicated to search features where you can search and apply refiners to your search results.

Publishing site templates:
  • Publishing Site – The template indicated when you want create enterprise intranets, communication portals and public websites. This template by default have publishing features enable including Page Layouts, Column Types, Web Parts, Lists and very important Documents and image libraries for storing web publishing assets.
