Add a page to a SharePoint site
This topic explains how to use options in the New dialog box to add a page to an existing Microsoft SharePoint site, and also how to change the type of page that Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer 2007 adds by default when you click New Document 
on the Common toolbar or press CTRL+N.
To add a page to a SharePoint site, you must have the proper permissions. If you are unable to add a page, contact your server administrator.

What type of page should I choose?
Using Microsoft ASP.NET 2.0 technology, Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 sites can support fully interactive and collaborative content (such as customized Data Views) in ways that more static HTML sites, for example, cannot. When you add a page to a SharePoint site, you almost always want to add an ASP.NET (ASPX) page because ASPX pages support the full range of SharePoint functionality. For this reason, an ASPX page is the default for new pages in a SharePoint site when you click New Document on the Common toolbar or press CTRL+N.
Similarly, because ASP.NET master pages can support SharePoint elements and functionality in ways that HTML-based template pages (such as Dynamic Web Templates) cannot, it is recommended that you use master pages whenever you want a number of pages in your SharePoint site to share a common look and feel.
The following table identifies the types of pages that you will most commonly want to add when working with a SharePoint site.
| Page type | Description |
| ASP.NET (ASPX) page | Adds a blank ASPX page, ready for you to insert elements and customize. |
| Master page | Adds an ASP.NET page, but one having a file name extension of .master instead of .aspx. After you create and save the new master page, you can use the Create from Master Page option to add multiple pages that are all based on that master page. For more information about master pages, see the article Introduction to ASP.NET master pages. |
| Page based on an existing master page | Adds an ASPX page that is based on a previously created master page and subsequently updated with any changes made to the appearance and behavior of that master page. For more information about master pages, see the article Introduction to ASP.NET master pages. |
| List View page | Adds an ASPX page that includes a new view of an existing list or document library. A List View page already includes page elements such as title bars, menus, and columns. |
| Web Parts Page | Adds an ASPX page with a predesigned layout that includes Web Part Zones, into which you can insert Web Parts. |
Add a page to a SharePoint site
You can quickly add a page of the default page type, or use the New dialog box to choose any type of page available.
To add a page to a SharePoint site, you must be a member of a site group that has the Add and Customize Pages permission. This permission is included by default in the Full Control and Designer permission levels.
Add a page of the default page type
For a SharePoint site, the default page type is an ASPX page. To change this setting, see Change the default page type later in this article.
-
In Office SharePoint Designer 2007, open the site to which you want to add the new page.
-
Click New Document
on the Common toolbar, or press CTRL+N.A new, unsaved page is added to the current site.
-
On the File menu, click Save, or press CTRL+S.
-
In the Save As dialog box, type a name for the new page in the File name box, and then click Save.
