Using Pages to Display ListsBasic Page: Use this page to create a new basic page on your site. You can add any content you want to the new page after you create it. Web Part Page: A Web Part Page is a collection of Web Parts that combines list data, timely information, or useful graphics into a dynamic Web page. The layout and content of a Web Part Page can be set for all users and optionally personalized by each user. Sites & Workspaces: Use this page to create a new site or workspace under this SharePoint site. You can specify a title, Web site address, and access permissions.

Storing data with Lists & Libraries Data that is stored in SharePoint is stored in one of the two ways:Lists: These contain data elements that define what is contained in SharePoint. Some common examples are a list of links, a list of announcements, or a list of custom data elements.Libraries: Libraries are a special type of list that has built-in capabilities to handle storing files. This includes version and new file template features.
