Modern SharePoint gives you a decent start for an intranet home page. Then you want a web part it does not have. A rotating announcements ticker. A kudos wall. An org chart. A row of key numbers. So you go looking, and the good ones are paid. I built a set of them and put…
Every intranet needs a small grid of shortcuts. Book leave, the directory, IT support, raise a PO. Modern SharePoint has a Quick links web part, but you cannot give each tile its own colour or drive the icons from a list column the way you might want. Here is one that does. Shortcut tiles with…
