What does a Site in Liferay represent?

In Liferay, a Site represents a collection of pages, content, and applications that together form a cohesive set of functionalities for a specific purpose or audience. This concept is central to Liferay's capability to manage distinct areas of functionality within a portal.

When you create a Site in Liferay, you are essentially establishing a dedicated space where various components, such as web content, portlets (applications), and page layouts, can be organized and managed. Each Site can be configured with its own set of content and visual elements, allowing for a tailored experience based on the needs of the users interacting with that Site.

This organizational structure facilitates better content management and allows for a more focused user experience, as different Sites can serve different roles or purposes within the broader platform. For instance, a company might have separate Sites for their marketing content, support resources, and internal applications.

Understanding this concept is crucial for effectively leveraging Liferay's capabilities to build and manage web content in a structured and user-friendly manner.
