Common Questions About This Architecture Firm Intranet
What is this architecture firm intranet built with?
It is built entirely with standard SharePoint web parts – Image for the featured project, plus News, Image Gallery, Events, World Clock, Call to Action, Video, and People – finished with a custom theme, custom fonts, and a branded header. There is no custom code and no third-party tools anywhere on the page. It is the kind of clean, maintainable intranet Greg Zelfond builds for architecture and design firms.
What is included on the architecture firm intranet homepage?
The page leads with a featured project banner, then studio news, a studio dashboard with two charts, a calendar of charrettes and design crits, and design resource tiles for Revit standards, specifications, code research, rendering requests, BIM support, and the project photo archive. A vertical section carries the project portfolio galleries and the firm’s principals, alongside studio world clocks, a licensure call to action, and a video.
Does this design use any custom code or third-party tools?
No. Every element on the page is a standard SharePoint web part configured out of the box. That matters because out-of-the-box designs stay stable, secure, and easy to maintain – nothing breaks when Microsoft ships an update, and any site owner can keep the page current without a developer or a support contract. Out-of-the-box is the only way Greg builds.
Can this design be customized for our firm?
Absolutely. The theme colors, fonts, logo, section names, and web part content are all tailored to the practice. Greg adapts the layout to the tools architecture firms actually use – Revit standards and templates, detail and material libraries, specification masters, code research guides, rendering queues, project photography archives, and timesheet and project codes – so the page reflects how your studios really work.
Will this intranet work for a firm with several studios?
Yes. Multiple studios are exactly what this layout handles. The world clock section shows local time in every office, news and events are firm-wide rather than tied to one location, the charts break work and continuing education down by studio, and the portfolio keeps projects from every office in one gallery so nobody feels like a satellite.
Can Greg build this intranet for our firm?
Yes – this is exactly the kind of work Greg Zelfond does. As an independent SharePoint consultant and Microsoft MVP, he designs and builds out-of-the-box intranets like this one, configures them inside your own Microsoft 365 tenant, and trains your team to keep them current afterward.
