You create [components (layouts/pages/templates)](/docs/building-with-components/) that render [data you ask for in your GraphQL queries](/docs/querying-with-graphql/).

You can also use your React components to create interactive widgets e.g. allow a user to do searches or submit forms. Because Gatsby is just React, it's easy to blend static and interactive/dynamic models of building web sites.
