A SharePoint intranet that looks as credible as your public website

A fixed-fee SharePoint intranet design and build on Microsoft 365. Yours to keep. No ongoing license fees.

What is a SharePoint intranet?

A SharePoint intranet is the employee-facing home for news, people, tasks, and knowledge on Microsoft 365. SharePoint is the platform. The intranet is the designed experience you put on it: hubs, navigation, templates, and a homepage people actually open.

Microsoft documents how to plan an intranet. Overlay products sell a skin on top of SharePoint. Dexy does neither. We design and build a SharePoint intranet in your tenant, using the platform you already pay for. You own the result. There is no ongoing license.

Dexy has 25 years of SharePoint intranet experience (since 2001). That shows up as information architecture before visual design, templates your comms team can maintain, and a build that matches the quality of your public website.

The problem

Most organizations run SharePoint intranets that look nothing like their external brand. Employees notice. Adoption suffers. IT is asked to fix it without a design team on staff.

Dexy delivers a designed and built intranet on Microsoft 365 - not a slide deck, not a license product, not an open-ended IT project.

What you get

  • Discovery & research

    Workshops, interviews, and a current-state review with the people who will use the intranet

  • Information architecture

    Hub model, navigation, task entry points, content audit, and governance before visual design

  • Design

    On-brand visual system applied to SharePoint Online

  • Build

    Homepage, key templates, navigation, and agreed sections

  • Handover

    Your tenant, your content - no ongoing license

  • Warranty

    Up to 30 days post go-live for defects in delivered scope

Optional: Support retainer after warranty - ticket-based help for bugs and clarifications only. Not enhancements or new sections. See Pricing.

Design for SharePoint

Intranet design on SharePoint is not a marketing-site rebuild. We design for hubs, news web parts, people directories, and repeatable page templates. Brand goes in through type, color, imagery, and layout discipline, not by fighting the platform with one-off custom pages.

That is intranet design for SharePoint: structure first, then a visual system your team can keep using after handover.

  • Brand on the platform

    Type, color, imagery, and layout habits that match your public presence

  • Templates over one-off pages

    Comms and IT can publish without a developer for every page

  • Structure before skin

    Navigation and hubs agreed before visual design

  • Maintainable handover

    Your tenant, your content, no Dexy product lock-in

FAQ

What is a SharePoint intranet?

A SharePoint intranet is an employee intranet built on SharePoint Online in Microsoft 365. SharePoint is the platform. The intranet is the designed homepage, hubs, navigation, and templates people use every day.

Is SharePoint already an intranet?

SharePoint can host an intranet, but out of the box it is a platform with sites, news, and libraries, not a designed employee experience. Most organizations still need information architecture, brand, and templates before employees treat it as their intranet.

Where can I see SharePoint intranet examples?

This page includes concept homepage and people-directory examples. Delivered programs are on the work gallery and case studies. We show representative design, not a catalog of every client intranet.

What does design for SharePoint involve?

Design for SharePoint applies brand and layout discipline to hubs, news, people, and templates the platform already supports. It is intranet design your comms and IT teams can maintain, not a custom site that fights SharePoint.

Is this just a visual refresh?

No. Every project includes information architecture - navigation, hubs, content audit, and governance - alongside design and build. A new skin without structure rarely lasts.

How long does a typical intranet build take?

Most fixed-scope projects run weeks, not months - exact timeline confirmed in the SOW after scoping.

Do we need third-party intranet products or licenses from Dexy?

No. You are buying a project outcome on SharePoint Online. You own what we deliver. Dexy does not sell a subscription product.

Can IT maintain the intranet after launch?

Yes. We design for maintainability - templates, governance-friendly structure, and handover your team can run. Optional retainer covers bugs and questions, not new build work.

What does a smaller-scope project include?

From as little as $6,000 for a smaller company with limited scope. We confirm fit and deliverables on a scoping call, before any work starts. See Pricing.

What if we need more than a homepage?

Many clients add a people directory, news, and department hubs. Larger scope is a higher fixed fee. We quote after a scoping call - see Pricing.

Do you work internationally?

Yes. Primary markets include US, UK, and Canada.
