5.5. Summary
This chapter explained how a typical SharePoint Page is constructed. You saw the power of Master Pages, and discovered many of the building blocks available to you to change the overall feel of your site. You also found out:
SharePoint Pages are built up from elements retrieved from many locations.
You are not stuck with the layout or structure provided out-of-the-box.
SharePoint Designer cannot directly reach into the server's file system.
Even the canned navigational elements provided by SharePoint allow for significant customization.
This chapter touched briefly on the importance of CSS styles in SharePoint. The next two chapters will introduce you to SharePoint Designer's powerful Style Sheet Editor, and how CSS is used by SharePoint's Theme mechanism, giving you full control over the look, to make it go along with the feel of your site.
