A site can define which page templates are available. It is also possible to add a custom availability and specify which templates can be added as children of other templates or any other rules that suit your project.
Pages contain areas which are usually used as containers for components. Each area defines which components are available in the area.

page.Content apps are useful for managing the things your site is about, such as tours, departments, affiliates, cars, etc. It is faster and easier to work in an app than in the page editor. In an app, there is only one dialog per item, and you do not have to worry about the page layout, or areas and components. Content apps encourage clean reuse of content across the site: The content is entered once in the content app and used in pages throughout the site.
