Intranet homepage build for SharePoint

SharePoint intranet build service: for new and existing intranets

If your SharePoint homepage feels flat and uninspiring, we’ll work with you to rebuild it into a clear, engaging space that earns employee attention – and reflects the great work you do!

Struggling to make your SharePoint homepage work?

Many internal comms teams feel stuck with a SharePoint homepage that’s flat, confusing, or simply ignored – and making changes feels harder than it should.

You may have asked IT for help and been told it needs to go through project approval, or that it’s not their priority. Meanwhile, important updates go unseen, and you’re left relying on all-staff emails no one reads.

Here’s what we often hear from our clients:

We were given this.

The homepage doesn’t reflect our priorities

We can’t do what we want in SharePoint.

We’re not developers - and IT has other plans.

We’ve just given up.

We don’t know what good looks like.

That’s where we come in – bridging the gap between comms, content, and technology, and helping you turn your homepage into something people actually use.

Rebuild your SharePoint intranet homepage – without the tech hurdles

Our intranet homepage build service helps internal comms teams turn underwhelming homepages into clear, engaging experiences that employees actually use.

We plan, design, and launch (or relaunch) your homepage – all within SharePoint Online, so there’s no custom code, no IT bottlenecks, and no alien solutions. You’ll be hands-on from the start, helping shape a homepage that’s relevant, usable, and ready to scale across your wider intranet.
