FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What does the SharePoint template for Education include?
It includes the intranet landing page plus three supporting pages (news, department and contacts), with photo hero with the week's calendar alongside, news cards for leadership, departments and year groups, people grid to introduce new faculty and the remaining sections visible in the demo. Everything is built from native SharePoint Online web parts.
Can we use this template with our own brand?
Yes. The example uses the fictional brand Brightwater Academy; during implementation we apply your colours, typography, logo and photography, and adapt sections and navigation to your organisation.
Is this portal also meant for students and parents?
The template is designed for staff and faculty. For students and families we recommend a separate communication site or Power Pages, keeping the internal intranet protected — a separation that also simplifies GDPR compliance when minors' data is involved.
How much does this Education intranet cost and how long does it take?
An intranet based on a catalog template goes live in 2 to 4 weeks. Investment depends on the number of sites, the volume of content to migrate and the integrations needed — we send a fixed proposal after a 30-minute scoping session.
