From a static SharePoint start page nobody visited to a living digital workplace — news, KPIs, events, recognition and one-click access to everything — assembled from modular web parts.
The client had a default SharePoint start page: a wall of links, an announcements web part no one updated, and documents buried three clicks deep. Employees went straight to Teams and email instead, so company news, events and important resources never reached the people who needed them.
They already paid for Microsoft 365 but had no easy way to build a branded, engaging portal without hiring an agency or bolting on another SaaS product. They needed something modular they could grow into — start with a home page, add sections over time.
Flex Intranet is a single SharePoint Framework (SPFx) solution that ships eleven independent web parts. Each one drops onto any SharePoint page, so editors compose the home page — and department pages — exactly the way they want, with the company's own branding.
Everything runs inside the client's own tenant. Content lives in SharePoint lists and libraries, layout is managed by editors with no code, and access follows SharePoint group membership. No third-party servers, no data leaving Microsoft 365.
Each web part is standalone and configurable. Add the ones you need today, extend later — the same package covers your whole intranet.
Company news feed with featured stories, categories and images. Editors publish announcements directly from the portal; employees always land on what's current — not a stale banner from last quarter.
SharePoint ListsSurface the company's key metrics on the home page — targets, actuals and trend at a glance. Values are pulled from SharePoint lists so the numbers stay live without anyone maintaining a slide.
Power BI readyUpcoming company events, town halls and training sessions in a clean card or calendar view. Employees see what's coming and can jump straight to details, all sourced from a SharePoint events list.
SharePoint ListsHighlight a team member with a photo, role and short story. Rotates on a schedule to keep recognition fresh and give new hires a friendly face on day one.
RecognitionShowcase a featured client or partnership win. A simple, branded card that keeps commercial wins visible to the whole company and reinforces a shared sense of momentum.
EditorialCurated, icon-based shortcuts to the tools, sites and documents people use every day. Editors manage the set with no code, so the "where do I find…" questions stop.
No-code editingA visual grid of internal and external tools and systems, grouped by category. A single launchpad for the digital workplace instead of a bookmark folder no one shares.
LaunchpadPresent internal services — IT, HR, facilities — as clear entry points that route employees to the right form, page or request. Turns "who do I ask?" into a single click.
Self-serviceStructured checklists for common IT and onboarding tasks — new device setup, access requests, security steps. Employees follow a guided list instead of guessing.
Guided tasksA persistent side panel for quick context — shortcuts, notices or contextual links — that stays with the user as they move around the portal, keeping key actions one glance away.
NavigationA control centre for editors and admins — manage content, configuration and which web parts are active across the portal, all from inside SharePoint with role-based access.
Role-Based AccessWho can edit content and who simply consumes it is controlled entirely through SharePoint group membership — no custom configuration after deployment.
A phased rollout that gets the home page live first, then layers in the rest at the client's pace.
Kick-off to confirm the SharePoint site, brand colours, logo, language and which web parts go live first. Home-page wireframe approved with the client.
Provisioning script creates the news, events, KPI and content lists. App catalog entry deployed and the SPFx package installed in the tenant.
Web parts added to the home page and arranged to the approved layout. Branding applied, quick links and tools populated with the client's real resources.
Editors load first news posts, events and KPIs. Admin documentation and an editor guide delivered, plus a 1–2 hour training session for the comms team.
Portal set as the company home site and pinned as a Teams tab. Employees notified. A 2-week hypercare window begins for tweaks and questions.
Our old intranet was a link dump nobody opened. Now the home page shows news, our KPIs and what's happening this week — people actually start their day there. And we update it ourselves, without calling IT.
No external servers. No third-party SaaS. All your content stays inside your Microsoft 365 tenant, protected by Microsoft's enterprise security.
