Intranet development

SharePoint intranet development for the people who actually use it

Most intranets are built by IT, for IT, and then wondered about for three years. We design and build SharePoint and Viva environments around what your people are trying to find and do.

SharePoint intranet development
Sound familiar?

If two or more of these are true, we should talk

An intranet nobody visits
Search that never finds anything

Built by IT, for IT
A Viva licence you are paying for and not using

We design, build and populate SharePoint Online and Viva Connections environments: the structure, the look, the content, the governance and the launch. Then we make sure people actually use it, which is the part most projects skip.

You already have the licences. The gap is almost never the technology, it is the information architecture, the ownership model and whether anyone was asked what they needed to find.

It is a communications channel that happens to run on SharePoint.

What it is

What we build

How it works

How a build runs

01

Discover

We find out what people are looking for, what they cannot find, and what the current site is doing to them.

02

Structure

Information architecture, navigation and search. The unglamorous part that decides whether it works.

03

Design

Your brand, applied properly, within what SharePoint will genuinely support.

04

Build

Sites, pages, hubs, news, permissions and Viva Connections where it earns its place.

05

Fill

Content migration and rewriting. Old content does not get carried across untouched.

06

Launch

A proper launch campaign, not a link in an email on a Friday.

07

Embed

Editor training, a governance model and an owner for every area, so it stays alive.

Things people ask us

What intranet services do you offer?
Faq Icon

We partner with companies to create kick-ass intranets.

From the planning and structure, to the content build or migration, right through to the comms, training and launch.

We can work with SharePoint or partner with your choice of provider to ensure the structure content and launch the right way with maximum engagement.

If you’re unsure what type of intranet you need, we can help you choose the right platform for your requirements.

Can you help us improve our existing intranet?
Faq Icon

Absolutely. We review structure, tone, clarity and usability, and then give you clear fixes and fresh content.

Do you provide copywriting or just strategy?
Faq Icon

We do both. We can write new content, rewrite old copy, or guide your team with examples and templates.

How do you ensure intranet content is user-friendly?
Faq Icon

We prioritise clarity, readability and structure so people find what they need quickly, and actually use the intranet. We also provide creative visuals that match your brand guidelines and tone of voice.

The best way to see if we are a good fit is a brew and a chat

Fifteen minutes, free, no pitch deck. If we are not right for you, we will say so and point you somewhere better.
