When Generic SharePoint Becomes Your Organization's Digital Showpiece
One mid-sized financial services firm faced a challenge: their SharePoint intranet—the digital face for 800+ employees—looked bland and uninspired. Default Microsoft styling sent the wrong message to employees, undermining engagement and internal communication.
With FusePoint’s branding web parts, they transformed their environment into a professional, visually engaging platform—without hiring designers or developers.
The Hidden Cost of Generic Digital Environments
First impressions happen in milliseconds. Bland SharePoint sites subconsciously communicate bureaucracy, inefficiency, and low priority for employee experience. The result? Reduced adoption, missed communications, and fragmented collaboration.
The "Before" Reality: When SharePoint Looks Like SharePoint
Visual Monotony – Default colors, no visual hierarchy, and lifeless layouts.
Brand Disconnect – No connection to the company’s external brand identity.
Attention Competition – Critical policy updates blended with routine announcements.
Employee Perception Issues – Seen as outdated, despite valuable content.
