The Top 10 SharePoint Intranet Examples

hi it's dougie from valto and today i'm going to show you my top 10 sharepoint examples but first i should explain that sharepoint internets are not just one single site there are a combination of different sites that are all linked together to make an overall intranet classic sharepoint sites had a bit of a bad rep they looked awful and were very clunky i aim to show you how modern sharepoint internet can look amazing everything i'm about to show you is using native sharepoint meaning if you like a particular feature or web part you can actually move them around and change the designs as you please all colors and imagery can easily be changed to your specification four page screen shots of each of the designs can be found in a link in the description so let's get started and take a look at 10 we have our sharepoint hub site now this hub site is a acting as the home page of your intranet so it will link together all the other sites with a really useful mega menu across the top which makes it nice and easy to jump between the different areas without having to come all the way back to the home page the other focus is around communicating the latest information and news articles through things like sliders as well as news web parts we can have these call to actions which can take us to useful pages such as policies or forms and input text so why not have a quote from your senior leadership team we can also display the latest news articles from throughout the internet so you can see here we've got news articles directly created on the hub we've also got news articles that are coming from the learning and development portal you can also link to news articles that you found on external websites such as bbc news underneath that we have upcoming events now this is a great place if you've got upcoming webinars or training and you would like them to be posted in a visible way users can then click on the add to calendar button to automatically add the events they're called as a reminder then on the right-hand side we have this secondary content area which i've placed here some useful links as often when you're duplicating links it can make it a bit easier for people to find different resources we can also have a people web part in this case we're titled the senior leadership team but this could be useful contacts now when you select on a useful contact you'll actually see their profile appear as well as their contact information and phone numbers underneath that we've put some example charts and these are known as quick charts because they're really quick and simple to update and add new data into so there's some kpis or metrics that you'd want to quickly show this is a great web part to use underneath that we then have our video of the month now this is just a youtube embed but we can also use stream embeds as well if you have your own video content in summary the hub site will tie together all the other intranet sites that you have and it will become your main home page your landing page before you navigate to those other areas at nine we have our department site now this is typically created as a template so you can roll it out to all of your business functions whilst keeping consistency of the site layout you can typically find information on here about the department about their uh leadership their teams how they work in their culture as well as useful resources that relate to that department so let's say for example if this was finance then they might be offering out information about how to submit an expense request we can also find out a bit of description about what the team does and their responsibilities any useful links any upcoming events any documents or useful downloads as well as news articles that could possibly roll up on the intranet home page as well and number eight we have our leadership connect site now this is a really important site where your senior leadership team or directors can give out useful information and also answer questions that are posted to them from around the business they can have pages for things like mission and goals general information about the leadership as well as bio pages for some of the ceos or senior leadership team members underneath this typically you'll have things like countdowns to town hall events links to bios as well as embedding things like yammer um this is where we can have a social feed where people can post questions um that the senior leadership team can then come back and answer we can see upcoming events and news articles which are posted to this site also at seven we have our learning and development portal now this is a great place to provide users with links to training courses and video training materials you can see across the top we've got a navigation to courses we've also got these large tiles which are nice and easy to update the background images uh the text which sits on top of them and the links of where they're pointing to we have some secondary navigation areas as well as the ability to post notes from senior leaders um these are news articles which we're then choosing to pull onto our internet home page as well we've got upcoming events again being used to track our training events um as well as a call to actions which are linking out to external websites at number six we have our microsoft 365 learning pathway site now in itself the home page is a little bit simplistic in terms of having a hero web part which links out to training materials we also display news items and events but the whole purpose of this site is to try and help users get started with microsoft 365 products such as sharepoint online onedrive and microsoft teams and all the other good products which are available on this site we typically would then drill down into content areas so for example getting started with microsoft teams and then we can find loads of really useful resources about setting up meetings and using chats when i drill down into them i can find pre-built training materials and guides that i can easily follow at number five we have our control document site now this typically is where you would store all of your policies and procedures in one's place that people can get access to easily we can then break these areas down by say department or business function so i could go and find all of my information related to human resources and let's say for example i'm interested in the equal opportunities i can then drill down into a page of information to read all about equal opportunities policy and on this page there might be content such as useful links as well as videos and quizzes surveys and downloadable materials now we also offer a automation package which allows you to have a review and approval process for your documentation your policies and procedures which is really useful if you're trying to adhere to an iso accreditation you can find more information on that through the link in the description at four we have our onboarding portal this site design is used by businesses regardless of their size as onboarding is something that every business can find challenging the idea is to provide a friendly modern sharepoint intranet that provides the necessary information for a new starter to begin work this onboarding portal often contains useful links to tools and software that is recommended to be downloaded it will typically contain an org chart information on senior leadership and what different departments are responsible for at number three we have our news hub now the news hub is a great place to roll up all the news from different areas of the internet onto one place so it can be a one-stop shop to get all of the different news announcements so whether it be keeping in touch or news directly from say senior leadership team as well as social news and events which are coming up from throughout the business at two we have our volunteer hub this internet design is typically used by charitable organizations or non-profits to help provide information to their volunteers however this is not just used by charities it can often be used by medium or larger size businesses to coordinate volunteering days to give back to local communities this internet solution can also be enabled for external access turning it into an extranet this means that the home pages of your volunteers hub can be shared to people outside of your charity organization without the need for them to have an office 365 license and finally at the number one place we have our crisis management portal now the reason why this is number one is this site is very important as i think excellent example of how sharepoint intranet can quickly come together to provide information to users that are in a time of crisis in recent years we have seen crisis management internet solutions popping up within intranet to assist with delivering internal communications during times of crisis such as when the covert 19 pandemic struck earthquake displacements as well as when employees are operating in war-torn countries this sharepoint site offers value through using navigation web parts such as the hero web part quick links as well as the news web parts to help navigate to use users to critical information really quickly the news web part is typically used to provide updates about how a crisis is progressing and this can keep all other colleagues in the loop i hope you enjoyed that video if you need help we do offer professional services including bespoke development training packages and pay-to-go support that can bridge those knowledge gaps within your current team you can email me at dougie valto dot co uk and we also offer free consultations to discuss your specific requirements we'll then give you a no obligation quote if that sounds good i hope to hear from you soon
