Frequently asked Questions
Is the setup process complicated for non-technical users?
Not at all. We designed this to be a "no-code" solution. You insert the template and use our visual interface to click-and-edit content. If you can edit a slide deck, you can build this page.
Which SharePoint environments are supported?
This template works flawlessly on SharePoint Online (Microsoft 365) as well as SharePoint 2019 and Subscription Edition (SE) On-Premise environments.
Does this support custom corporate branding?
Yes, extensively. You aren't stuck with our blue and green defaults. Our Theme Builder allows you to define your specific color palette, typography, and corner radius settings to ensure the page feels like your company.
Is the content static or dynamic?
It can be both, but it shines when it is configured to be dynamic. Using ShortPoint Connect, you can wire the "News," "Events," and "Documents" sections to actual SharePoint lists. When you update the list, the page updates itself instantly.
Is this template responsive for mobile users?
Absolutely. We apply a mobile-first philosophy. The multi-column layout you see on the desktop automatically stacks and adjusts for tablets and mobile phones to ensure readability on any device.
Can we duplicate this for other sites?
Yes. Once you customize this template to your liking, you can make it as a custom asset and copy and paste it to other pages. This allows you to deploy the same structured layout for different regional offices or department sites instantly.
What comes with the ShortPoint subscription?
You get the full package: access to this template and hundreds of others, our powerful visual builder, advanced integration capabilities, and unlimited support from our design experts.

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