SharePoint Intranet Portal FAQ

A SharePoint intranet portal is a secure hub inside Microsoft 365 that unifies news, documents, people, and apps in one branded workspace accessible on any device.

SharePoint isn’t an intranet “out-of-the-box,” but its modern sites, permissions, and tight Teams integration make it the #1 framework for enterprise intranets.

Start with clear objectives (e.g., news sharing, document search). Map your information architecture, pick a platform such as SharePoint Online, apply security groups, build modular pages with web parts, run a pilot, gather feedback, then launch company-wide with change-management training.

Intranet development is the end-to-end process of planning, designing, building, and maintaining a private, employee-only website that centralises communication, documents, forms, and apps. It spans UX design, content migration, permissions, integrations, and ongoing governance.

In web terms, an intranet is a secure, internal web ecosystem—think of it as “the internet, but gated for your workforce.” We build ours on Microsoft 365 so it inherits Azure AD single sign-on, Microsoft Search, and enterprise-grade compliance out of the box.

An internet (public) portal follows the same steps as an intranet—define goals, architect content, choose CMS or custom code—but adds SEO, CDN delivery, and anonymous-user security hardening. Tools range from WordPress to headless CMS plus React front ends.

• Home hub – news & alerts
• Team sites – HR, IT, Finance
• Knowledge libraries – policies, SOPs
• Apps layer – ticketing, forms, KPIs

Clients report 25 % fewer emails, 30 % faster document retrieval, and smoother onboarding. An intranet boosts knowledge sharing, enforces version control, supports remote work through mobile access, and embeds compliance policies where staff already collaborate.

Web-portal development is creating a central online gateway—public or private—that aggregates content, search, user profiles, and integrated services behind a single log-in. Portals often layer role-based access, personalisation, and third-party app connectors onto a CMS or framework.

They serve different purposes. The public internet maximises reach; an intranet maximises control. For sensitive workflows, we recommend a SharePoint intranet → Teams extranet pairing: employees stay inside the secure perimeter, partners get controlled external access, and everyone avoids risky file-sharing links.

For most Microsoft 365 customers, SharePoint Online wins on security, scalability, and Teams integration. We have deployed 70 + portals on it and see 25 % lower total cost of ownership versus standalone SaaS intranets. Niche scenarios—-like heavy manufacturing kiosks—may justify alternatives, but SharePoint covers 90 % of use-cases.

1. Corporate hub: enterprise-wide news, policies, and global search. 2. Department or community sites: HR, IT, or project teams with tailored apps and document libraries. 3. Project-specific or microsite intranet: time-boxed spaces for mergers, audits, or product launches that archive once the project closes.
