The Intrazone, episode 25: “SharePoint, You Look Marvelous”

This post has been republished via RSS; it originally appeared at: Microsoft SharePoint Blog articles.

The SharePoint design team is hard at work to inspire this customer sentiment across the intranet marketplace: "Please, make it look like SharePoint." The inspiration follows form and function – and the desire to provide a beautiful first-run experience alongside – one that stands on its own AND is configurable & customizable.

 

In this episode we go into the minds of the creative design team behind SharePoint. You'll learn about the gorgeous out-of-the-box experience and how that same rigor enables customers to make unique, beautiful, functional intranet sites. We talk with Principal Design Manager – Denise Trabona (LinkedIn | Twitter) and Omar Shahine (LinkedIn | Twitter) – Partner Director of Program Management for OneDrive and SharePoint.

 

And don't miss my Transylvanic impression attempt of Billy Crystal… (I tried - I really did).

 

 

This is THE DESIGN episode. By the end, you’ll be saying, “Make ours look like SharePoint!

(+ bonus: scroll to the end of this post to view a collection of beautiful customer intranet screenshots from Wavemaker, Beiersdorf AD, 3M, Microsoft and Contoso Inc.)
