How to design a department landing page

Why Watch

Your department intranet site is more than just an online presence—it’s your shop window to showcase internal services and empower colleagues across the organisation to self-serve. However, most department landing pages are often dull, filled with uninspiring ‘about us’ sections, team member bios, and meaningless mission statements. The browsing experience is further hindered by oversized photos of suited individuals smiling, which do little to enhance usability or engagement.

Hosted by ClearBox’s Wedge Black, this webinar recording will help you transform your department intranet site into an intuitive, self-service resource centre. No matter what intranet system you use, this session will guide you on creating a site that helps colleagues follow processes, use business systems effectively, and know when to engage with your team—be it for troubleshooting or addressing unique needs.
