Common Questions About This Board of Directors Site
What is this board of directors site built with?
The site is built with standard SharePoint web parts – News, Events, Quick Links, Document Library, Editorial, and Call to Action – with Microsoft Lists powering the action log and the board contact list. There is no custom code and no third-party tools anywhere on the site. This is the kind of clean, maintainable team site Greg Zelfond builds for boards and governance teams.
What’s included on the board of directors site?
The site features a centralized document library for meeting minutes, bylaws, and financial reports, a links section highlighting frequently accessed content, an integrated action log for tracking board action items, dedicated news and events sections with a board calendar, a comprehensive contact list for all directors, and a volunteer highlight. As a dedicated team site, it gives the board a secure workspace separate from the rest of the organization.
Does this design use any custom code or third-party tools?
No. Everything you see is built with out-of-the-box SharePoint and Microsoft Lists – no custom code, no third-party add-ons. That matters because out-of-the-box sites are stable, secure, and easy to maintain, and nothing breaks when Microsoft rolls out updates. Out-of-the-box is the only way Greg Zelfond builds, which keeps the site dependable for years without ongoing developer costs.
Can this design be customized for our board?
Absolutely. The structure adapts to the way your board actually operates. Greg structures the document library around your governance materials – minutes, charters, policies, and financial reports – tailors the action log columns to how your board tracks decisions and follow-ups, and configures secure guest access so external board members can participate without compromising data security.
Will this board site work on mobile devices?
Yes. SharePoint pages are responsive by design, so the site automatically adapts to phones and tablets. That matters for boards, where directors are often traveling or reviewing materials between meetings – agendas, minutes, and action items stay accessible from any device, with the same security and permissions applied everywhere. No separate mobile app or extra configuration is required.
Can Greg build this board of directors site for our organization?
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 team sites like this one for boards of directors, tailored to your governance materials, your meeting rhythm, and the way your directors work.
