Marketing 2 – SharePoint Online Communication Site: Centralize company news, events, highlights, and resources.

About this Template

Launch a SharePoint online news template that brings headlines, announcements, and highlights into one trusted hub. A bold hero introduces the day’s lead story with secondary CTAs for Events and Resources. A slim ticker presents urgent updates, while three streams—Company News, Strategic Developments, and Workplace Highlights—organize posts with summaries and bylines for quick scanning. Promote key campaigns with a full-width feature banner and provide clear “Learn more” paths to detail pages. Editors can tag stories, schedule posts, and pin priorities so employees always see what matters first. Use this layout to reduce inbox noise, keep teams aligned, and turn your intranet into a regular reading destination.

Frequently asked Questions

How quickly can we get our new SharePoint online communication site live?

Your site page can be up and running in a few hours. Site creation is entirely visual, letting you apply the design, hook up your site content, and publish without any technical hurdles.

Does the SharePoint online communication site support Microsoft 365 and On‑Premise SharePoint?

Definitely. It’s designed to integrate seamlessly with SharePoint Online (Microsoft 365), SharePoint Subscription Edition (SE) and is fully compatible with supported On-Premise versions, too.

How much control do we have over the look and feel?

You can make it uniquely yours, down to the last detail. The ShortPoint Theme Builder lets you apply your brand's exact colors and fonts, while the Page Builder gives you freedom to shape every section of your new communication site. It's all done visually.

What will it look like on a smartphone or tablet?

It will look polished and professional on any screen. We designed it to be mobile-first, which means it fluidly adapts to every device for an intuitive, easy-to-use experience on the go.

Can we create similar SharePoint online communication sites for other teams, like HR or IT?

You can reuse the page template to create a communication site for every department—from HR to Finance—a consistent, on-brand starting point. They can add their specific site content while the core design stays unified across your entire organization.

Does it integrate with SharePoint resources and Microsoft 365 apps such as Planner, and Outlook?

That’s where it truly shines. Using ShortPoint Connect, you can pull dynamic, live site content directly from your everyday tools. Your site will always feel current because it updates itself.

What’s included with a ShortPoint subscription?

Think of it as your all-in-one toolkit for transforming SharePoint. With a subscription, you get full access to our entire gallery of templates, a vast library of design components, seamless integrations with your Microsoft 365 apps, regular updates, and dedicated support from our expert team.

We were spending a lot of development dollars, but things still weren’t how we wanted and every day wasted was a day closer to our deadline.

- Stephanie Case

ShortPoint has enabled us to create internal SharePoint sites that are user-friendly and attractive for our multi-generational group  of Associates.

Before using ShortPoint, I’d never have expected that a small team such as ours could deliver a product that looks as good as our portal does today.

- Jonathan Jones

ShortPoint reduced the time it took to rebuild our intranet from 3 months to just 2 weeks. It really is a must-have for every company that uses SharePoint.

- Rami Abdulkarim

Building and customizing sites in SharePoint was a very heavy lift. We needed a developer on every project and it felt like we were always doing things the hard way.

- Milton Johane

I had no idea intranet consultancy would become so big for us! And none of it would have been possible without ShortPoint’s incredible software and support team.

- Johan Venables

It was hard to find solutions to beautify customers’ SharePoint installations and give customers a visual impression of how a new intranet could look.

- Rüdiger Gros

Thanks to ShortPoint, the intranet isn’t a pain point for us anymore. I couldn’t put a price on how much happier we are working with ShortPoint as opposed to our previous vendor.

- Shawn Duggan

Working with ShortPoint was one of the smoothest projects I’ve ever been involved in. What they created for us is fantastic, and we never felt an ounce of stress.
