Organize better. Collaborate smarter. Stay aligned.
Our SharePoint Development Services are purpose-built to help mission-driven organizations improve internal communication, standardize document management, automate key processes, and ensure compliance with federal, state, and industry-specific regulations.

Build a centralized and secure workspace with SharePoint
SharePoint is a powerful platform at the heart of Microsoft 365 that enables organizations to build secure, flexible, and centralized digital environments.
For nonprofits, housing authorities, and public sector institutions facing complex governance requirements, limited technical capacity, and growing operational demands, SharePoint offers a scalable foundation for digital transformation.
COMPREHENSIVE SHAREPOINT SOLUTIONS TAILORED TO YOUR ORGANIZATION
Our development services span the entire life cycle of a SharePoint implementation, from strategic planning to post-deployment support. Whether you’re enhancing an existing intranet, building a records repository, or designing a collaborative space for cross-departmental teams, we deliver solutions that are sustainable, secure, and built with your mission in mind.
MODERN INTRANET DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT
An effective intranet is more than just a digital bulletin board. It’s a central hub that fosters community, communication, and productivity. For organizations operating across departments, geographies, or remote teams, a thoughtfully designed SharePoint intranet can eliminate information silos, unify staff around a common mission, and streamline day-to-day operations.
Our modern intranet solutions provide a branded, accessible, and personalized user experience that ensures every employee—from front line staff to executives—can easily find what they need, stay informed, and engage with their organization’s culture. We focus on building intranet environments that are visually appealing, intuitively navigable, and optimized for performance on both desktop and mobile devices.
Key features include:

Custom branded design reflecting your organization’s identity

Centralized news and announcements

Quick links to key applications and resources

Role-based dashboards and content targeting

Department or program-specific subsites
ADVANCED DOCUMENT AND RECORDS MANAGEMENT
Information governance is a critical pillar of operational integrity, especially for nonprofits, housing authorities, and agencies subject to public records laws or funding audits.
Our solutions go beyond basic file storage by leveraging metadata, content types, workflows, and version control to support transparency, accountability, and compliance. Whether managing HUD records, case files, internal policies, or grant documentation, our approach gives you confidence that your documents are accessible, auditable, and safely managed throughout their lifecycle.
Our services include:

Retention and disposition labeling

Content types and metadata taxonomy

Document sets for case or project management

Role-specific access and sharing controls

Records centers or in-place records management setup
COLLABORATION HUBS AND TEAM WORKSPACES
Cross-functional collaboration is essential to delivering programs, managing grants, and meeting strategic goals, but without the right tools, collaboration can quickly become fragmented or insecure. Our SharePoint-based collaboration hubs create dedicated digital workspaces for teams, departments, and external partners to work together seamlessly.
Integrated with Microsoft Teams, these hubs empower staff to engage in real-time collaboration while maintaining proper versioning, security, and information flow. We ensure each workspace is tailored to the team’s role, function, and workflow needs.
Capabilities include:

Team sites with task lists, calendars, and announcements

Secure workspaces for grant teams or external consultants

Document co-authoring with automatic version control

Integrated conversations via Teams and Outlook
PERMISSIONS AND SECURITY ARCHITECTURE
Securing sensitive information while enabling staff to work efficiently is a balancing act, one that many organizations struggle to manage without the right SharePoint structure. Our SharePoint security architecture is built around Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) and industry best practices to ensure access control is both scalable and secure.
We implement group-based permissions, role-based access controls, and site/librarian-level security configurations that protect data without creating unnecessary bottlenecks.
Our approach includes:

Group-based permission management using Microsoft Entra ID

External sharing governance and link expiration settings

Site- and library-level permissions for segregation of duties

Approvals for content publication or deletion
PROCESS AUTOMATION AND DIGITAL WORKFLOWS
Manual processes can slow down operations, introduce inconsistencies, and consume valuable staff time. By leveraging Power Automate and native SharePoint capabilities, we help organizations replace repetitive tasks with streamlined digital workflows.
These automations bring consistency, visibility, and accountability to critical functions like HR requests, compliance approvals, and program reporting.
Sample automated workflows:

Leave and training request submissions

Vendor invoice processing

Policy review and approval routing

Client or resident intake tracking

Compliance alerting and task escalation
NAVIGATION, SEARCH OPTIMIZATION, AND ACCESSIBILITY
A SharePoint solution is only as effective as its usability. Without intuitive navigation and strong search performance, staff waste time searching for resources or duplicating efforts. Our development approach emphasizes clean, role-based navigation structures and advanced metadata tagging to improve content discoverability across your intranet or document libraries.
We also design with inclusivity in mind to ensure WCAG 2.1 accessibility standards are met to accommodate all users, including those using assistive technologies.
Enhancements include:

Hub site architecture for centralized navigation

Keyword optimization and search scopes

Audience targeting and dynamic content displays

WCAG 2.1 accessibility adherence for inclusive experiences
DASHBOARDS AND DATA-DRIVEN PORTALS
SharePoint becomes even more powerful when combined with data visualization and tracking tools. We design and implement dynamic dashboards and portals that help organizations surface critical metrics, monitor service delivery, and report on program outcomes, all from within a secure SharePoint environment. Using Power BI, Microsoft Lists, and data connectors, we create real-time dashboards for grants, client services, inventory, or operational KPIs.
Our solutions turn static data into actionable insights—empowering staff to make informed decisions with confidence.
Examples include:

Key performance dashboards for grants or compliance

Resident service tracking dashboards

Inventory and asset management logs

Programmatic reporting for funders or boards
