SharePoint Designer can be used to create powerful workflows on your site. You can create workflows on a list or library, create reusable workflows or create site based workflows.

Web Part connections allow you to connect information on one web part to another web part. You can do this through the browser, but only when the connections interface is available and even if it is available, you can only make connections to web parts on the same page. SharePoint Designer lets you make web part connections for all types web parts. Also, you can make connections from a web part on one page to another one on a different page.

There are times when you want information on a SharePoint page to not be updatable using the browser by anyone. The information could be text, images, lists, libraries or web parts. You can create a page like that using SharePoint Designer. This page will then be only updatable by anyone who can get to it using SharePoint Designer. All others, no matter what their privileges are, will not be able to change any information on the page using the browser.

SharePoint Designer can be used to create all types of SharePoint Lists. This video demonstrates how you can create a Contacts list and then modify its schema to use list columns and site columns.
