Exceptional Experiences
Be Inclusive with our Accessibility Checker
Ensure your users are not only sticking with your brand’s colours and fonts, but using them in the most accessible way. Our simple, built-in tool guides the user as to which designs pass or fail against AA and AAA standards.
It has been great for the network…to be working with the team on the new MetNet project, to help improve accessibility, identifying problem areas and finding solutions. Getting the network involved and able to see, test and feedback at various stages of the development helped to ensure accessibility was maintained.

We live in an information age: in today’s world, the ability to quickly handle and share information is essential for our everyday lives. This is particularly relevant in a university environment where knowledge exchange is core to what we do.
Our new intranet is essential to the University’s strategy, our community and our progression. For the first time, staff have a dedicated channel of news and information.
Homepage Takeover
Whether it’s celebrating a company’s anniversary, Pride Month or a product launch, more companies are splashing their announcement across their intranets. With Beacon’s design flexibility, users can “takeover” their intranet pages and make the special occasion stand out.
Design Webparts
Great for clients looking for improved engagement with important announcements, feedback collections or promotions and to help with important ‘call to action’ messages. This example has an 80% overlay and is customisable.
Featured are two different options – the carousel (left) and block colour cards (right). Great for showcasing content from a single site or across multiple sites in a compact space. Options to have automatic scroll in the gallery or you can turn it off.
In this example, the Section Background includes an image with custom border. You can also have a gradient or colour blocked section. This is great for clients with distinctive shapes in their branding like slants and curves. Create dynamic, custom-shaped sections that add a unique flair.
Great for highlighting achievements, goals or statistics in a visually engaging format. The core features include
- Accordion: (alternative to SharePoint collapsable sections) ideal for FAQs
- Masonry or Carousel layouts
- Text with icons
- Support images, links and icons
Great for embedding media (podcasts, social media feeds or training videos) from platforms like Spotify or YouTube directly onto a page.
