SharePoint Modern Intranet Migration and Redesign

We were tasked with migrating an existing intranet system to SharePoint Modern and completely redesigning the user experience. The goal was to improve usability and provide users with the option to select from three distinct themes based on the content being accessed.

Challenges and Objectives:

• Migrate existing content and infrastructure to SharePoint Modern without disrupting daily operations.
• Design a consistent yet flexible user interface that supports multiple themes.
• Ensure cross-platform compatibility and responsiveness.

Process:

• Research: Conducted stakeholder interviews and user testing to understand existing pain points and requirements.
• Design: Developed wireframes and high-fidelity prototypes, incorporating user feedback to refine the interface.
• Development: Implemented the design using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, working closely with back-end developers to create custom SharePoint widgets.
• Theming: Created three user-selectable themes to allow for content-specific customization.
• Testing: Conducted usability tests and performance audits to ensure responsiveness and accessibility compliance.

The new intranet system improved user engagement and provided a more intuitive navigation experience. The introduction of customizable themes increased user satisfaction and enhanced overall usability.
