WSS 3.0 and MOSS 2007 offer many OOTB site definitions for different types of sites. More specifically, the following are OOTB categories and the site definitions available under each category. Note that some of the site definitions are only available while creating site collections.

  • Collaboration
    • Team Site
    • Blank Site
    • Document Workspace
    • Wiki Site
    • Blog
    • Microsoft Office Project Workspace
  • Meetings
    • Basic Meeting Workspace
    • Blank Meeting Workspace
    • Decision Meeting Workspace
    • Social Meeting Workspace
    • Multipage Meeting Workspace
  • Enterprise
    • Document Center *
    • Records Center
    • Site Directory *
    • Report Center * *
    • Search Center with Tabs *
    • My Site Host
    • Search Center
  • Publishing
    • Collaboration Portal *
    • Publishing Portal *
    • Publishing Site
    • Publishing Site with Workflow

* - Available while creating a site collection.

** - Available while creating a sub-site but resulted in an error. Created the same as a site-collection and it worked fine.

It's kind of difficult to remember the default look & feel of an OOTB site which requires one to create a "throw-away" site just to see the look & feel. I have done it many times! This morning I spent some time and created all of the sites on my development machine and have made the screen shots available.

Collaboration

Team Site

Blank Site

Document Workspace

Wiki Site

Blog

Microsoft Office Project Workspace

Meetings

Basic Meeting Workspace

Blank Meeting Workspace

Decision Meeting Workspace

Social Meeting Workspace

Multipage Meeting Workspace

Enterprise

Document Center

Site Directory

Report Center

For some reason I got the following error while creating a sub-site of this type under a site-collection. Not sure what am I missing.

Creating the Report Center as a separate site collection worked like a charm!

Search Center with Tabs

My Site Host

Search Center

Publishing

Different Publishing site definitions are available depending on the context (as a site collection vs as a sub-site) in which the site is created.

While creating a site-collection, the following site definitions are available:

  • Collaboration Portal
  • Publishing Portal

While creating a sub-site under a site-collection, the following site definitions are available:

  • Publishing Site
  • Publishing Site with Workflow
