ShortPoint

ShortPoint is a design and intranet-building platform for Microsoft SharePoint and Microsoft 365 that enables organisations to create visually engaging, functional SharePoint sites without coding. SharePoint is widely used as the foundation for intranets, but its native design options are limited, and creating a polished experience often requires developers or specialist consultants. ShortPoint addresses this by providing a visual page builder, pre-designed templates and a library of design elements that allow communication and IT teams to build branded intranets and site pages directly within SharePoint. The company emphasises simplicity of user experience, AI-powered accessibility tools and a range of built-in integrations as core parts of its proposition.

The platform includes a drag-and-drop page builder with elements such as tiles, sliders, tabs, news feeds, image galleries, icons and navigation menus, which can be configured to pull content dynamically from SharePoint lists, libraries and other Microsoft 365 sources. Template packs provide complete intranet designs for departments, news portals, HR hubs and other use cases, reducing the time needed to launch. Built-in integrations, numbering more than 25, connect with Microsoft services such as Outlook, Teams, Planner and Yammer, as well as external services, allowing information to be surfaced in one place. Accessibility tools help organisations identify and resolve issues so that sites are usable by people with disabilities and aligned with accessibility standards. Theme builders and branding controls ensure a consistent visual identity across sites. Because ShortPoint operates within SharePoint, content remains within the organisation's Microsoft 365 environment and inherits its security and permissions. The product supports both SharePoint Online and certain on-premises versions. ShortPoint is aimed at communication professionals, IT teams and consultants in organisations of all sizes that rely on SharePoint. Pricing starts from around USD 3,998, with a free trial available; there is no permanently free version.
