Is your intranet helping employees work better, or does it feel like it could be doing more?
Most organizations invest in SharePoint with the right intentions. They want clearer
communication, better collaboration, and one central place employees can rely on. What
often holds them back isn’t technology. It’s design.
That’s where SharePoint Intranet Design Services make the difference.
Your intranet should work like a digital workplace cockpit, giving employees clear visibility into what matters. Many intranets, however, slowly turn into a forgotten filing cabinet.
Employees stop using them because information lives across too many tools, search results feel unreliable, and pages look outdated or inconsistent. Important updates get missed. Documents exist in multiple versions. Finding the right information takes longer than it should.
This is rarely a technology problem. It is usually a design problem. When structure, navigation, and user experience improve, the intranet becomes a place employees return to. Clear organization, better search, and role-focused content turn low adoption into daily use.
When intranet adoption drops, the impact spreads quietly. Employees spend extra time searching for information or recreating documents. New hires take longer to become productive. Knowledge stays siloed instead of being shared.
Over time, these small inefficiencies affect productivity, employee experience, and internal communication across the organization.
A professionally designed intranet feels less like a repository and more like a digital workplace platform.
It’s intuitive. It reflects your brand. It adapts to different roles. And it integrates naturally with Microsoft 365 tools employees already use. This is where design turns SharePoint into something employees rely on every day.
Struggling to get employees to engage with the intranet?
Design plays a bigger role than most teams expect. We design intranets that reflect your organization’s identity through layouts, colors, and visual structure. When the experience feels familiar, employees trust it more and return to it more often. For organizations focused on visual consistency, our SharePoint branding services support deeper alignment.
When employees ask where information lives, navigation is often the issue. We design clear information architecture so users reach content faster, with fewer clicks. Pages are organized around how employees work, not internal hierarchies.
This improves discoverability, strengthens search results, and makes daily usage easier.
Different roles need different information. Role-based dashboards ensure employees see relevant content when they log in. HR teams access onboarding tools. Managers find team resources. Executives see high-level updates and KPIs. Personalization increases relevance, and relevance drives intranet adoption.
Work doesn’t happen only at a desk anymore. Our intranet designs are responsive and mobile-optimized, allowing employees to access content from any device. Whether remote, hybrid, or on the move, the experience stays consistent.
A modern intranet should connect with daily tools. We integrate SharePoint intranets with Teams, Outlook, OneDrive, Power BI, and other Microsoft 365 services. This creates one connected ecosystem and a single, unified experience instead of switching between disconnected tools.
Features create value when they solve real problems. We recommend add-ons
based on engagement and productivity goals, not trends.
When leadership needs visibility, intranets can also surface insights through
Power BI dashboards without leaving the employee portal.
At Code Creators, we design intranets as digital workplaces, not just internal websites. We help organizations turn scattered communication into a single employee portal that people use everyday. Our focus is adoption, clarity, and long-term value.
If you’re exploring modern SharePoint intranet solutions, we can help you understand what works and why.
We offer a SharePoint Intranet Design Checklist that outlines what high-adoption intranets typically include. It’s a practical guide, not a full solution, and it helps IT Directors, HR leaders, and Intranet Managers spot quick wins and priority gaps.
Many vendors focus on delivering features. We design intranets around how employees actually work, so adoption follows naturally. Our approach combines UX design, SharePoint expertise, and a strong understanding of employee behavior. We focus on clarity, scalability, and long-term use.
This approach aligns closely with our broader SharePoint consulting services, where strategy and execution go hand in hand.
We work with organizations across Canada, including teams in Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, and beyond.
Our intranet designs align with Canadian compliance expectations, including PIPEDA, and reflect regional business structures and operational needs.
Instead of relying on a single freelancer, you get a complete delivery team. Projects typically include a UX/UI designer, SharePoint developer, solutions architect, and project manager. This structure ensures design quality, technical reliability, and clear accountability.
Compared to a single freelancer, our team-based approach reduces risk and ensures continuity from design through launch. For flexible engagement, you can also hire intranet designers or SharePoint developers through Code Creators.
A successful intranet follows a clear, structured path built around real employee needs, along with technical features.
We understand users, communication gaps, and business goals so the intranet solves real problems from day one.
We create intuitive navigation, layouts, and user journeys so you can preview the experience before development begins.
We build using modern SharePoint and Microsoft 365 tools, including intranet development and customization that match your workflows.
Before launch, we validate usability, navigation, and performance to ensure a smooth employee experience.
We support rollout, train your teams, and guide adoption across departments.
As your organization evolves, we refine and expand the intranet to keep it relevant and useful.
Some organizations need full delivery. Others need advisory support or extra expertise.
We support flexible models including consulting, design-only engagement, and full implementation. This allows teams to move faster without building everything in-house.
If you’re evaluating internal resourcing, our hire intranet designers option offers a practical alternative.
A basic site stores content. A professionally designed intranet improves navigation, communication, and employee experience across the digital workplace.
Timelines vary by scope, but most teams see value through phased delivery that introduces core areas first.
Yes. We modernize intranets in stages so teams can continue working while improvements are introduced gradually.
When employees struggle to find value, adoption drops. We design around real tasks and role needs, so the intranet becomes useful from day one.
Yes. All designs are responsive and mobile-optimized for consistent access across devices.
Costs depend on scope, customization, and integration. We focus on long-term ROI and adoption rather than unnecessary complexity.
Yes. We offer ongoing optimization and support, so the intranet continues to evolve with your organization.
Absolutely. Integration with Microsoft Teams, Outlook, OneDrive, and other tools is a core part of modern intranet design.
Your intranet doesn’t live in isolation. It works best when it’s connected to the rest of your digital workplace.
Many organizations start with intranet design, then quickly realize they also need better document management, smarter dashboards, or a full Microsoft 365 rollout. That’s where our broader SharePoint and Microsoft services come in. We help you build a complete, connected environment instead of a collection of disconnected tools.
Here are a few areas where we often support intranet clients
Most clients combine two or more of these services to create a unified, easy to use
platform that employees actually rely on every day.
As organizations grow, communication becomes more complex. A well-designed intranet brings clarity back into daily work.
