SharePoint Intranet & Employee Portal Development
One front door for news, policies, people and the tools your teams use every day.
We design and build modern intranets on SharePoint Online: a branded home site, department hubs, a news engine and quick access to apps, all in your existing Microsoft 365 subscription. The same intranet appears in the SharePoint app in Teams and on mobile, and its content is structured so Copilot and SharePoint agents give accurate answers.

Why most company intranets stop being used
“Nobody can find the latest policy.”
Files live in email, shared drives and old sites, so people ask colleagues instead of searching.
“Company news gets lost in email.”
All-staff emails are skimmed and forgotten; frontline staff often never see them.
“Our old intranet looks like 2012.”
Classic pages, broken links and no mobile view, so adoption quietly drops to zero.
An intranet your people actually open
Built with modern SharePoint, so it improves automatically as Microsoft adds features.
Home site & information architecture
A home site with hub sites for departments, regions or projects, and navigation built around how people look for things.
Branding & page design
Your logo, colours and fonts applied through themes and the SharePoint brand center, with page templates for consistent news and pages.
News, announcements & events
Targeted news by audience, announcements, event calendars and newsletters that reach desk and frontline staff.
People & knowledge
Org charts, expert directories, FAQs and policy centres with owners and review dates.
Apps & quick links
Dashboard cards and quick links to HR, IT, finance and line-of-business apps, personalised by role.
Permissions & governance
Who can publish, who can see what, and how sites are requested, so the intranet stays tidy as it grows.
Modern SharePoint has moved on. Your intranet should too.
Recent Microsoft updates make a SharePoint intranet far more capable than the classic sites many companies still run:
- Home site experience: the best of Viva Connections is now part of the SharePoint home site, so dashboard cards, news and resources sit together
- SharePoint app in Teams and mobile: the same intranet in Teams and on phones, ideal for frontline staff
- Agents in SharePoint: employees can ask questions of policies and procedures and get cited answers (where Copilot is licensed)
- Brand center and new web parts: central fonts and branding, plus newer layouts for news, resources and announcements
Some Microsoft features need specific licences or pay-as-you-go billing. We confirm what your plan includes before we design around it.

SharePoint intranet questions, answered
Plain answers to what business owners ask before they start.
Ask us a questionDo we need extra licences for a SharePoint intranet?
Usually not. A modern intranet runs on the SharePoint Online and Teams included in most Microsoft 365 business and enterprise plans. Copilot answers and agents need Copilot licences or pay-as-you-go billing; we tell you upfront which features depend on them.
How long does an intranet project take?
A focused first release with a home site, a few department hubs and core content typically takes 6–10 weeks. Larger multi-region intranets are delivered in phases.
Can frontline staff without a desk use it?
Yes. The intranet is available in the SharePoint app in Teams and on mobile, and news can be targeted to frontline groups.
Can you move content from our old intranet?
Yes. We review what is worth keeping, migrate it into the new structure and archive the rest, rather than copying everything across.
Will our team be able to update it?
That is the goal. We build page templates and train content owners, so publishing news and updating pages needs no developer.
Is the intranet ready for Copilot?
We structure content, ownership and permissions so Copilot and agents only surface current, approved information to the right people.
