# SharePoint intranet design and build | Dexy

> If staff can't find policies, news, or people on your intranet, we research, design, and build a SharePoint intranet they use. Fixed-price packages.

Canonical: https://www.dexy.cloud/intranets

## If your staff can't find what they need on the intranet, we design and build one they use

For comms, HR, and IT leaders whose SharePoint intranet is hard to navigate or out of date. We research how your employees work, plan the structure, then design, build, and launch it in your own Microsoft 365.

## What goes wrong today

Most organizations we talk to describe the same problems with their SharePoint:

- Staff can't tell which version of a policy or form is current.
- Many sites have no owner, so nobody keeps them up to date.

## What you get

- An intranet that looks as credible as your public website, built on SharePoint.
- A structure planned with your staff, so people find the current policy, form, or contact in a few clicks.
- Clear owners for each section, so pages stay current after launch.
- Training for your editors, so your team can publish without calling IT.
- No ongoing license fees from us. It runs in your own Microsoft 365.

## How the work runs

We follow the same stages on every intranet, and the package decides how deep each one goes:

1. Research and discovery with your employees.
2. Strategy: what the intranet must do and for whom.
3. Design and branding, with UX and information architecture when included.
4. Build in your Microsoft 365.
5. Training for your editors.
6. Adoption: launch plans that get people using it.
7. Support and evolution after launch.

## We research and plan the structure before we design

Many SharePoint projects skip the research. We run workshops, interviews, and task scenarios with real staff to learn how people do their jobs. Then we plan the navigation and hubs, so people can still find things as the intranet grows. Design and build come after the structure is agreed.

## Who does the work

We have 25 years of SharePoint intranet experience. We have worked with clients across professional services, engineering and construction, retail and entertainment, healthcare, and technology.

One example: for a law firm, we designed and built a SharePoint intranet including an on-brand visual theme to match their external website, a people directory that staff can search by practice area, and AI search.

## Viva Engage add-on

If you want people to talk to each other as well as read the news, we can add Viva Engage to your intranet project. We follow our playbook of pilots, champions, content, and metrics, so people keep posting after launch week.

- A readiness review that recommends whether to launch, relaunch, or wait.
- A pilot with chosen communities and champions before the company-wide launch.
- A content plan for the first months, so communities don't go quiet.

## After launch

Every project includes a 30-day warranty for defects in the delivered scope. After that, we offer strategic, content, and community support for the intranet and Viva Engage as a fixed monthly service.

## FAQ

### How much does an intranet cost?

Fixed-price packages, scaled to your size. The fee depends on how many employees you have and what the intranet must do. We confirm the package and the fee on a short scoping call, before work starts.

### Do we need to buy new software?

No. We build on SharePoint in the Microsoft 365 you already have (any plan that includes SharePoint), and there are no ongoing license fees from us. Some Viva Engage features need an extra Microsoft license, and we will tell you up front if your plan needs one.

### Can we add Viva Engage later?

Yes. You can add it to an intranet project or start it after launch.
