SharePoint Design Examples That Deliver

Some of the best SharePoint intranet designs combine accessibility, personalisation, and strong brand identity to create experiences that employees genuinely want to use.

At Silicon Reef, some of our favourite SharePoint intranet design examples are those that bring people, brand, and purpose together — creating spaces employees genuinely enjoy using.

• University of Leeds – an on-brand, engaging intranet that makes information easy to find and collaboration effortless for staff across campus.
• Met Office – an award-winning intranet that put accessibility and inclusivity front and centre, proving great design can be both beautiful and barrier-free.
• Bauer Media Group – a highly personalised intranet that tailors content and experiences for employees across multiple brands and regions. Watch the video to see how it works.

Each example reflects our belief that great SharePoint design isn’t just about how it looks — it’s about how it helps people work, share, and feel connected.

These examples demonstrate just how flexible SharePoint can be when design is guided by people, not just platforms. At Silicon Reef, we use design thinking to reimagine SharePoint as a place where employees can connect, find information quickly, and feel part of a shared culture. Each project shows that when design is done right, the intranet becomes more than a tool — it becomes a daily destination.

Absolutely. The examples are designed to inspire and show what’s achievable — whether you’re starting from scratch or improving an existing SharePoint intranet. Silicon Reef works with each organisation to adapt the principles behind these designs — from colour and layout to structure and accessibility — so they reflect your brand, goals, and ways of working.

Great SharePoint design finds the balance between creative expression and everyday usability. In every example, we prioritise clear navigation, accessibility, and content hierarchy — ensuring the intranet looks great and works effortlessly. At Silicon Reef, our design process always begins with people: understanding how they work, what they need, and how design can make their day simpler.

A successful SharePoint design feels natural to use, reflects your brand identity, and supports the way your people actually work. The best designs — like those created by Silicon Reef — combine thoughtful layouts, accessible content, and intuitive journeys to create genuine engagement. When design and functionality align, employees don’t just use the intranet — they rely on it.
