How to build an Intranet portal in SharePoint using out of the box features
This slide deck illustrates how you can use SharePoint to build your organization's Intranet Portal, complete with Project Sites, Department Sites. Document Management Repository, Employee Directory and more.
SharePoint has been on the market from 2001, and since then, matured into a very stable and popular business collaboration platform. The beauty of SharePoint is that it is relatively easy to customize and it provides an experience already familiar to users via Office suite. Most frequent use of the platform by corporations has been in the areas of web content management, information sharing and document management.
However, adoption of SharePoint as a true Project Management Information System (PMIS) has been slow. Out-of-the-box SharePoint is unappealing, customization takes time and acceptance at PMO level is often very bureaucratic.
In this presentation I will demonstrate how you can customize SharePoint to help you with your next project. You will walk away learning tips and tricks that you can implement literally in hours. Among other things, you will learn how SharePoint can help you facilitate project team collaboration, integrate existing methodologies and empower your project team.

Conversion Day 2015 - Usability Best Practices - Johan Verhaegen
Surely you've attended them: all those design meetings full of high-temperature discussions about product pages, search queries and checkout flows. Everybody has their own opinion and preference, everyone refers to another big name with: “Let's do it like they do, surely they've got it right”. More often than not it ends up in a chaotic mishmash.
It doesn't have to be that way. By creating a design vision specifically tailored to your website or mobile app, you will enter your future design meetings with much more confidence and efficiency. And armored with an up-to-date selection of e-commerce usability best practices, you will be ready to design like a pro.

UXPA 2023: UX Fracking: Using Mixed Methods to Extract Hidden Insights
Users do not always accurately describe what they mean or feel. There are many reasons for this, ranging from politeness to poor introspection, to lack of sufficient technical vocabulary. Fortunately, UX researchers have tools in their trade to deduce what was really meant. We call this UX Fracking, a mixed methods approach that is optimized for extracting hidden user insights. We will illustrate the dangers of inadequate, superficial research, and how this may lead to outcomes incapable of addressing the users’ core issues. We will explore ways to avoid these pitfalls by leveraging mixed research methods to test hypotheses about the users’ intent and needs. This starts with a thorough understanding of who the user is, their goals, and how they work today, to an approach that combines surveys, interviews, and comment analysis with behavioral observation, and finally, validating the newly discovered user insights with the users themselves.
The document discusses using social media as a fundraising tool. It provides an overview of social media basics and tips for using different social media platforms like blogs, Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn for fundraising purposes. Some key benefits mentioned are relationship building, prospecting, sharing stories and promoting brands at low cost. Cons include loss of control and the time investment required. The document provides specific guidance on setting up and using accounts and engaging supporters on different social media channels.
Design with the User In Mind: Best Practices for a Usable and Adopted SharePo...
Marcy Kellar presented on user centered design. She discussed how focusing on user needs through research, prototyping and testing can help create usable and adopted solutions. Specifically, she emphasized keeping the user at the center of the design process by conducting user interviews, creating personas and testing designs with users early. This helps avoid bad practices like not talking to users or testing too late. The benefits of user centered design include improved user experience, increased productivity and identifying opportunities.
Know Thy User: The Missing Element in SharePoint Solutions (User Centered Des...
You want the most out of your investment in SharePoint – a highly adopted, effective and easy-to-use solution. Achieving these objectives requires more than technical skills and knowledge of the inner-workings of SharePoint features – it requires an understanding of user problems and goals as well as a process that keeps the user at the center of the lifecycle. If you are like many organizations implementing SharePoint, you are using “surrogates” to represent user requirements, collecting inadequate user information and not engaging users later in the design and development process. If this sounds familiar, you may be headed toward a costly redesign.
This session defines both User Centered Design (UCD) and User Experience (UX) concepts and provides tangible methods that incorporate users into your process without compromising business goals.
SharePoint Exchange Forum - How to Make a SharePoint Site Intuitive
This document summarizes a presentation by Marcy Kellar on making SharePoint sites intuitive. To design an intuitive site, the presenter explains that you must first define the intended user, tasks, and metrics for determining ease-of-use. Second, the gap between what users already know and what the site wants them to know must be narrowed. Finally, the presentation provides tips for making a site intuitive, such as designing around user expectations, following design patterns and conventions, ensuring consistency, and correcting issues like alignment that impede usability. The key things that must be defined for a site to be easy to use are the intended user, tasks, and metrics.
SharePoint Exchange Forum - 10 Worst Mistakes in SharePoint Branding
This document summarizes Marcy Kellar's presentation on the 10 worst mistakes in SharePoint branding. It discusses common mistakes such as using inline styles instead of CSS, allowing designers too much freedom without considering implementation costs, applying fixed widths that limit collaboration, removing elements like the quick launch that remove functionality, not designing for real content, fixing the ribbon width, using content editor web parts instead of publishing tools, modifying default SharePoint files, and directly editing SharePoint sites in Dreamweaver. Each mistake is explained, potential impacts are outlined, and fixes or workarounds are suggested. The document provides guidance on best practices for SharePoint branding.
Earlier this year I wrote a blog on the Top 10 Mistakes in SharePoint 2010 Branding and UI Design (http://bit.ly/ITzlJl) and had such an overwhelming response that I wanted to present it to the community. I brought in a front end developer (Tom Daly) and a Developer (Mike Mukalian) to help me convey the different perpsectives that each of our roles takes. My original list of mistakes changed a bit when we brainstormed on overall cost and commonality of branding messes. I still stand by my original listing in the blog but by adding different roles in the mix, we were able to provide a depth of experience to support these 10 costly and common mistakes in SharePoint Branding and UI Development.

Conversion Day 2015 - Usability Best Practices - Johan VerhaegenHuman Interface Group
Surely you've attended them: all those design meetings full of high-temperature discussions about product pages, search queries and checkout flows. Everybody has their own opinion and preference, everyone refers to another big name with: “Let's do it like they do, surely they've got it right”. More often than not it ends up in a chaotic mishmash.
It doesn't have to be that way. By creating a design vision specifically tailored to your website or mobile app, you will enter your future design meetings with much more confidence and efficiency. And armored with an up-to-date selection of e-commerce usability best practices, you will be ready to design like a pro.
In this talk you will learn:
- How to create a design vision, tailored to your specific goals.
- Which usability best practices are relevant to improve your conversion rates.
EXTRAORDINARY COMMUNICATION
Everyone participating in the design process wants to come up with a good solution, yet many struggle with it. Executives, IT, business and development folks work with us ... In fact, working with a multi-disciplinary team is the way most UX design gets done.

UXPA 2023: UX Fracking: Using Mixed Methods to Extract Hidden InsightsUXPA International
Users do not always accurately describe what they mean or feel. There are many reasons for this, ranging from politeness to poor introspection, to lack of sufficient technical vocabulary. Fortunately, UX researchers have tools in their trade to deduce what was really meant. We call this UX Fracking, a mixed methods approach that is optimized for extracting hidden user insights. We will illustrate the dangers of inadequate, superficial research, and how this may lead to outcomes incapable of addressing the users’ core issues. We will explore ways to avoid these pitfalls by leveraging mixed research methods to test hypotheses about the users’ intent and needs. This starts with a thorough understanding of who the user is, their goals, and how they work today, to an approach that combines surveys, interviews, and comment analysis with behavioral observation, and finally, validating the newly discovered user insights with the users themselves.
The document discusses using social media as a fundraising tool. It provides an overview of social media basics and tips for using different social media platforms like blogs, Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn for fundraising purposes. Some key benefits mentioned are relationship building, prospecting, sharing stories and promoting brands at low cost. Cons include loss of control and the time investment required. The document provides specific guidance on setting up and using accounts and engaging supporters on different social media channels.
Design with the User In Mind: Best Practices for a Usable and Adopted SharePo...Marcy Kellar
Marcy Kellar presented on user centered design. She discussed how focusing on user needs through research, prototyping and testing can help create usable and adopted solutions. Specifically, she emphasized keeping the user at the center of the design process by conducting user interviews, creating personas and testing designs with users early. This helps avoid bad practices like not talking to users or testing too late. The benefits of user centered design include improved user experience, increased productivity and identifying opportunities.
Know Thy User: The Missing Element in SharePoint Solutions (User Centered Des...Marcy Kellar
You want the most out of your investment in SharePoint – a highly adopted, effective and easy-to-use solution. Achieving these objectives requires more than technical skills and knowledge of the inner-workings of SharePoint features – it requires an understanding of user problems and goals as well as a process that keeps the user at the center of the lifecycle. If you are like many organizations implementing SharePoint, you are using “surrogates” to represent user requirements, collecting inadequate user information and not engaging users later in the design and development process. If this sounds familiar, you may be headed toward a costly redesign.
This session defines both User Centered Design (UCD) and User Experience (UX) concepts and provides tangible methods that incorporate users into your process without compromising business goals.
SharePoint Exchange Forum - How to Make a SharePoint Site IntuitiveMarcy Kellar
This document summarizes a presentation by Marcy Kellar on making SharePoint sites intuitive. To design an intuitive site, the presenter explains that you must first define the intended user, tasks, and metrics for determining ease-of-use. Second, the gap between what users already know and what the site wants them to know must be narrowed. Finally, the presentation provides tips for making a site intuitive, such as designing around user expectations, following design patterns and conventions, ensuring consistency, and correcting issues like alignment that impede usability. The key things that must be defined for a site to be easy to use are the intended user, tasks, and metrics.
SharePoint Exchange Forum - 10 Worst Mistakes in SharePoint BrandingMarcy Kellar
This document summarizes Marcy Kellar's presentation on the 10 worst mistakes in SharePoint branding. It discusses common mistakes such as using inline styles instead of CSS, allowing designers too much freedom without considering implementation costs, applying fixed widths that limit collaboration, removing elements like the quick launch that remove functionality, not designing for real content, fixing the ribbon width, using content editor web parts instead of publishing tools, modifying default SharePoint files, and directly editing SharePoint sites in Dreamweaver. Each mistake is explained, potential impacts are outlined, and fixes or workarounds are suggested. The document provides guidance on best practices for SharePoint branding.
10 Worst Mistakes in SharePoint BrandingMarcy Kellar
Earlier this year I wrote a blog on the Top 10 Mistakes in SharePoint 2010 Branding and UI Design (http://bit.ly/ITzlJl) and had such an overwhelming response that I wanted to present it to the community. I brought in a front end developer (Tom Daly) and a Developer (Mike Mukalian) to help me convey the different perpsectives that each of our roles takes. My original list of mistakes changed a bit when we brainstormed on overall cost and commonality of branding messes. I still stand by my original listing in the blog but by adding different roles in the mix, we were able to provide a depth of experience to support these 10 costly and common mistakes in SharePoint Branding and UI Development.

SharePoint User Experience Design Project Plan v1.0Marcy Kellar
This is the first draft of the User Experience timeline of a WCM/ECM SharePoint Project. I found myself drawing this on cocktail napkins at Sharepints and thought I'd pdf it for discussion.
The primary objective of creating this graphic was to explain the approximate onset of visual design in a user-centric SharePoint project. I'm interested in hearing your ideas.

10. What Users Expect: Conventions
Found at Universal Usability Guidelines
1/30/2010 @marcykellar
11. Questions Users Ask
• What type of site is this?
• Have I experienced a site like this
before?
• Have I been to this site before?
• Where am I?
• Where have I been?
1/30/2010 @marcykellar
12. Questions Users Ask
• What type of site is this?
• Have I experienced a site like this
before?
• Have I been to this site before?
• Where am I?
• Where have I been?
The answers to these questions are generally
first conveyed to the user through visual design.
1/30/2010 @marcykellar
13. Intuitive Site Summary
• The intuitiveness of a site is based on the user‟s knowledge
• If user base has already been using SharePoint, consider this
before moving Site Actions, Search, etc
• If you don‟t have user information follow web conventions for
where to place items, follow visual design guidelines and
consider usability
1/30/2010 @marcykellar
14. "Know thy user, and you are not
thy user."

15. Usability is a quality attribute that assesses how easy user
interfaces are to use. The word "usability" also refers to methods
for improving ease-of-use during the design process.
USABILITY
1/30/2010 @marcykellar
16. First Law: Don’t Make Me Think
Anytime a “guess” is brought into the
equation you are adding unnecessary
thought bubbles above the users
head.
The more challenging a website is for a user to use,
the less likely they will use it.

1/30/2010 @marcykellar
19. Usability Facts
• “Current best practices call for spending about 10% of a design
project's budget on usability” Usability 101, Jakob Neilson
• “A key principle for maximizing usability is to employ iterative
design, which progressively refines the design through evaluation
from the early stages of design.” Usabilityfirst.com
1/30/2010 @marcykellar
20. Organization Information
• Users Don’t Read: provide clues that allow users to find their
„nugget‟ of information‟ by scanning rather than reading
• Users need to find information quickly and easily
• Organize information into schema/hierarchy
• „Chunk‟ information into small pieces
1/30/2010 @marcykellar
34. The Presentation Ecosystem
• Educate users • Maintain consistency to create
• Establish relationships between a sense of place
content • Effectively convey your
message to your audience
• Guide users through actions
• Emotional impact
• Focus user attention
• Make organizational systems clear • Engage and invite
• Give sites a unique personality
• Provide situational awareness
Slide Based on information created by Luke Wroblewski
1/30/2010 @marcykellar
37. Color Guidelines
• A complicated color palette is
for advanced designers
• Limit to less than Four (4)
• Best to use two (2) if you
aren‟t a designer
• Using different values of the
same hue is acceptable
• Black/white counts as one
color
1/30/2010 @marcykellar
39. Color Tips
• Use a palette of colors found in nature
• Perform a readability test before go-live
• Test for high contrast
• Do not use small fonts when using dark backgrounds
• Do not use high contrast color text on dark backgrounds (red on
green, purple on green, etc)
• Consider accessibility guidelines
• Beware of “Wash out” (brown on green or yellow on clear white)
1/30/2010 @marcykellar
41. Avoid High Contrast Text on
Dark Backgrounds

43. Design Principles
The principles of design are guidelines used for putting
elements together to create effective communication
1/30/2010 @marcykellar
45. The study of visual opposition.
“If two items are not exactly the same, then make them different.
Really different.”
CONTRAST
1/30/2010 @marcykellar
47. Contrast
Contrast sometimes is used
inappropriately or
inadvertently in SharePoint
thanks to the rich text editor.
1/30/2010 @marcykellar
48. Contrast Tips
• Use typeface, color, whitespace, texture as contrasting
elements
• Create a focal point on a page by contrasting elements
together
• Avoid using attributes that are too similar
1/30/2010 @marcykellar
49. The use of repetition to create movement occurs when elements
which have something in common are repeated regularly or
irregularly sometimes creating a visual rhythm
REPETITION
1/30/2010 @marcykellar
50. Repetition
• Adds consistency
• Unifies all parts of a design
• Organizes information
• Repetition develops the
organization and creates a strong
brand
1/30/2010 @marcykellar
51. Repetition
Repeated elements are
inherent in SharePoint.
Web part headers,
navigation elements,
etc
1/30/2010 @marcykellar
52. Repetition
Repeated elements are
inherent in SharePoint.
Web part headers,
navigation elements,
etc
What SharePoint doesn’t do, is provide proper whitespace or
contrast with default styles
1/30/2010 @marcykellar
53. Repetition Tips
• Repeat some element of design throughout the piece such as color,
shape, texture, bullets
• Repeat visual elements throughout your site
• Look for existing repetition to strengthen
1/30/2010 @marcykellar
54. Human beings perceive items that are aligned vertically and/or
horizontally to be more organized than those that are not, and
people process, learn and remember organized information better
than unorganized information.
ALIGNMENT
1/30/2010 @marcykellar
55. Alignment
Don't center or justify lines of
text
Never center headlines over
HEADLINE flush left body copy or text that
Never center headlines over has an indent.
flush left body copy or text
that has an indent.
1/30/2010 @marcykellar
59. More Examples…
Can you spot the issues?
1/30/2010 @marcykellar
60. Alignment Tips
• Nothing should be placed on the page arbitrarily.
• All page items should have a visual connection
• Use a grid
• Align elements along "hard vertical edges“
• Don't combine left and right alignment on the same page
1/30/2010 @marcykellar
61. The principle of proximity allows similar or related elements to be
grouped together to form a cohesive whole. Items that aren‟t
related should be kept visually separate from those which are.
PROXIMITY
1/30/2010 @marcykellar
62. Proximity
Grouping several elements in
close proximity they become one
unit
We change our perception and
see these 4 elements as 2 groups
1/30/2010 @marcykellar
66. Proximity Tips
• Group related items together
• Keep non-related items far apart so that reader isn‟t confused
• DON'T use white space to break up items that belong together

Editor's Notes
About Me: Marcy KellarWorking atPointBridge as a user interface consultant. Diverse background in life sciences, psychology, data management and technologyOver four years experience in SharePoint architecture planning and implementationOver twenty years experience in fine art and visual design
I have ADD and often find myself running on autopilot. The success of my day-to-day activities can be dependent on the intuitiveness of the products in my life. The impact of not having an intuitive keyholder can be felt throughout those connected to me in my life. Let’s say I pull in my garage and I’m on the phone. I’m listening to the person on the other end and as I exit my car and walk in the door, I’m on autopilot. If I don’t have a key holder that is just intuitive to use, I may walk right by my key holder without putting my keys on it. I may not be able to find my keys when I am rushing out the door to my next appointment.
SThe message here is that intuitive is based on the user. It’s personal. What’s intuitive to one group of users may not be intuitive to another group.
Webster’s dictionary states that Intuitive means readily learned or understood. How do you determine what is readily understood? Is it the same for everyone?
To make something more intuitive you must understand what your users alerady know and what you want them to do.
Follow Web Conventions to Better Meet User Expectations and Make Site Intuitive
