What Effective and Great-Looking SharePoint Sites

Intranet designs can differ drastically based on what you're looking to achieve. Let's dive right in by breaking things down into the absolute essentials that your project will need to be successful.
- Your site must represent your organization’s brand identity really well. If you have strict branding guidelines, follow them religiously by setting your site’s color theme, fonts and typography, logo, and other details. You want all visitors to the site to know immediately that they have arrived at the right place.
- Your site must have seamless navigation between site collections, pages, libraries, lists and applications. All the necessary information and tools should be accessible through well-designed navigation menus, links, footers, and more. Any visitor to your site should be able to find what they are looking for, immediately.
- All pages must have balanced and organized content. Properly curated content should be displayed in a variety of ways that keep the user engaged, promote interaction and deliver value.
- Your site should connect users with the information they require by utilizing practical integrations. This is key as they help your users to be constantly connected with the data that they need for their day-to-day work.
- Deliver excellent user experience through a usable, readable and value-adding intranet site. This includes ensuring that all pages are designed to be responsive to mobile devices, maintain optimized site performance, and be accessible to all.
