An intranet is nothing more than an internal-facing website, and most people use it like they use any other website on the Internet. Its often only us, in the SharePoint world, that get caught up in the tool and functionality that makes an intranet work.
Join Virgil Carroll as he shares his 16+ years of web building experience in the guise of a top 10 SharePoint intranet best practices discussion. From content to functionality, to how people really use it ... this discussion will change the way you think about how you deliver your intranet today.
Bringing web best practices to share point intranets sps beBIWUG
Virgil Carroll presented on bringing web best practices to SharePoint intranets. He discussed why intranets should be designed like websites with a focus on usability rather than just finding information. Key practices included talking to employees to understand challenges, prioritizing their needs, making navigation and search easy to use, focusing on scannable content over documents, and using the modular capabilities of SharePoint to separate content from design. The goal is to create intranets that help employees accomplish tasks without needing to be taught how to use the system.
Visual hierarchy is a cornerstone for all design disciplines and describes how humans interact and perceive content across all mediums. As digital designers, it is our responsibility to design interfaces and experiences that help communicate the content our users are looking for. Mobile screens present unique challenges to applying visual hierarchy concepts, especially when viewed through the lens of responsive design and progressive enhancement. This presentation will explore tactics that can be employed to help bridge the gap between design constraint and content priority, as well as discuss the role visual hierarchy should play when designing for all digital screens.
This presentation will present insights into web user psychology, how to think about and write for the web, how to identify common content mistakes and how writing for the web will improve your search engine rankings.

“If they would just listen to us...”: Turning Internal Client Relationships i...Michael Powers
You’re smart. (You do work in higher ed, after all.) You know your stuff. You have ideas. New ideas. Good ideas. And yet—your clients (internal or external) don’t want your ideas. Or your style guide. They know what they want: the same thing they’ve been doing for the last ten years. Why won’t they just listen to you?
The answer is finding ways to turn to client relationships into real collaborations. When we move from a conformance mindset to a collaboration mindset, we can find ourselves in the position to do our best work—work our clients will love.
What you’ll learn:
• How to move from a conformance to a collaboration mindset.
• Using workshop techniques (like job stories, pair writing, mad libs, and more) in meeting settings.
• How to uncover the real problems your clients are facing, and solve them—together.
The great variety of features, possibilities and information within SharePoint portals make it hard to provide customers with the right user experience. Slight changes and, for example, the use of Silverlight can give the user’s experience a big boost. In the presentation I (Sandra de Ridder, UX and functional consultant at Sparked) gave on the 7th of May at DIWUG I reviewed the User eXperience of a couple of SharePoint sites and provided tips and tricks on how you can improve this user experience.

Getting Started With User-Centered Content by Emileigh Barnes & Kate Garklavs...Blend Interactive
Writing for the web is messy and complicated. As web content managers, we must weigh user needs against stakeholder demands, tight timelines, budget constraints, and more. We’re often thrown into projects that are already underway or lack a clear strategy. Our work is constrained by organizational pressures.
In this workshop, we’ll talk about aligning content with project goals, creating a strategy that puts users first, and building products that can maintain momentum and success, even after we’re gone.
Search is not just the place your users go to when they are lost or have something specific to find. It is also a place where your users go to to have a conversation about their needs. Avinash Kaushik remind us that search is the only place that gets used more than 10% of the time. So, how are we designing this conversation? In this presenation for the IXDA Singapore community, I share a framework to design the search experience.

Evernote is a software suite for notetaking across devices that allows users to create notes with various content types like text, photos, and audio recordings. Notes can be organized into notebooks and tagged for easy searching. The software synchronizes notes across a user's devices. Evernote can be used to keep records for assessments, create digital student portfolios, record conferences, and provide feedback to students by highlighting work and recording audio comments within notes. To start, a free account is created and the Evernote software is installed. Then notes are made by typing text or importing files, and they can be shared through URL links without the recipient needing an Evernote account.

The document describes using generators to process large log files. A non-generator solution would open the log file and iterate through it line-by-line, splitting each line to extract the byte value and add it to a running total. However, this requires keeping the entire file contents in memory. A generator-based solution yields lines from the file one at a time to avoid loading the entire file into memory at once.
This document summarizes CSS Grid Layout, a new two-dimensional grid system being added to CSS. It discusses some of the limitations of existing CSS layout methods and how Grid Layout addresses them.

I use personas to support the development of the University of Edinburgh's corporate Content Management System and associated services.
A significant challenge is to try to ensure that all members of the team understand and empathise with the personas that represent our CMS user group.
This session (first presented February 2014 at a Web Publishing Community session) outlines activities I use to help foster shared understanding within the team and wider group of stakeholders.

SPUnite17 Successful SharePoint Projects and User eXperienceNCCOMMS
This document discusses best practices for successful SharePoint projects and user experience. It provides tips in several areas:
- Involve users from the beginning and get buy-in from management to avoid users seeing it as an "IT thing."
- Simplify forms and navigation using consistent structure and metadata. Search should drive effects rather than just searching.
- Consider starting small with existing components rather than a "big bang" approach. Be aware of design principles like placing important content above the fold.
- Give users control over their content and work in progress. Provide training and support to help users solve their needs rather than just teaching functionality.
This document discusses using open source tools to combine search engines, analytics, semantics, and content management systems (CMS) to enhance organizational knowledge management. It proposes a stack that uses Drupal as a semantic CMS with Apache Stanbol for content enhancement, reasoning, knowledge models, and persistence of semantic data. This integrated approach allows information and knowledge to be discovered, shared, reused, and retained within and across organizations.

Other, bigger priorities 18%
Lack of interest 13%
Business specific issues 12%
Policies 10%
Cost 7%
Other 9%
Reference: Nielsen Norman Group
DO YOU NOTICE
WHAT IS MISSING?
8. Collaborative experiences still
sucks
• Even with improved systems, they are not keeping up
with the ever changing enterprise
• Projects that start well go wrong quickly due to
perceived ‘business needs’
• Business still doesn’t understand people’s time costs
money
9. The resources we need aren’t
there
• Most SharePoint intranet teams still feel understaffed
• People experience implementation takes $$
• Technology changes rapidly, businesses don’t
• No matter how much we want it, TECHNOLOGY WILL
NOT FIX THE PROBLEM
11. why use web best practices?
• People think intranets are websites, not SharePoint
• Most intranets focus on finding information not
collaboration
• Like a website, if you have to teach someone how to
use an intranet, you have failed
12. talk to people not on your team
• Good intranets will include feedback from other people
• Requirements interviews
• Discovery workshops
• Surveys
• You must balance opinions with the questions you ask
• ‘What would you like to see’ vs. ‘What challenges do you encounter with
our current intranet’
• A ‘wish list’ build will fail
REMEMBER
Just because someone has an opinion, doesn’t mean they are right
13. example
good info
• “HR forms are important, but
getting to my team site is more”
• “Why do I have to go to 3
different systems to figure out all
my employee stuff”
• “I don’t understand different
department acronyms”
wishful thinking
• “People really want to know
about project updates”
• “The page should know who I am
and only show me what I want to
see”
• “We should have a chat window
where I can ask questions”
14. your people should always be
first
• We believe our people know us better than they do
• If ever in doubt, ask any person to recite your org chart
• Often treat employees like its their first day
• Unlike Facebook, intranets are not suppose to help
people waste time
• Focus on functional-based results
• Latest news is only important to the communications group
• Understanding their stories
• For large, multi-discipline organizations consider creating personas /
customer journeys
• Accessibility
16. getting around should be easy
• Organize information according to how your people
think
• Card sorting
• Tree tests
• Navigation should be simple and act like a multiple
choice question
• Mega-menus can be useful when used well
18. good design supports function
• We don’t call it ‘branding’ its design
• Design should never be used for the sake of pretty
colors
• Balance must be established between the design and
getting people to what they need to do
• Color contrast can help people be successful
• Making it mobile
• Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should
• Popular frameworks: Bootstrap, skeleton, responsive grid system
• Use media queries vs. 2013 device channels
23. make sure search … works
• People are really poor searchers
• You have to handle all the variabilities
• They don’t know what they are looking for
• They don’t know how to spell
• Refiners that are relevant
• Remove SharePoint objects from the results
• Great use of 2013
25. documents are NOT content
• Documents are for reading ‘stuff’ longer than people
will read on a screen
• Develop content standards, consistent tone and plans
to govern
• Find a good balance between too much and too little
• Just because content resides somewhere else doesn’t
mean people want to go there too
26. tips: what people want to read
• Content that’s scannable
• Bullet points
• High level information up front, can dig further if
desired
• Easy to read and understand
• Up to date information
26
28. example: how people spend their
time
Above the
fold
80%
Below the
fold
20%
Reading Above and Below the Fold
28
Right Half
30%
Left Half
70%
Left vs. Right
• People at most read 20% of the words on a webpage
• People are much more likely to scroll past the fold if the first content they see
matches their need
29. learn from your logs
• Search logs
• Great source for understanding
• Spelling challenges
• Search patterns
• Many searches for obvious things mean they are not
• Web analytics
• Great source for understanding
• What people really do on your intranet
• How non-search people look for information
• Creating ‘push paths’ or placing of content in multiple locations
• SharePoint web analytics is still crap, use Google analytics
31. separate storage from
presentation
• Content may need to be re-used
• Allows authors to store and work on content ‘where
they want’
• Good use of 2013
• Roll up content summaries via CQWP or CSWP
• Use audience targeting to further refine
33. example: content on multiple
pages
Home
My
Employment
Forms
Expense
Sheet
Documents
and Forms
Expense
Sheet
Company
News
Departments
HR
Expense
Sheet
35. use the ‘modularness’ of
sharepoint
• Centralize CSS and media assets
• Use proper page structure for flexibility and future
updates
• In 2013, display templates add another layer of flexibility
• Create structure that content contributors can expand
easily
36. master page
• Can be applied to entire site or
sub-sections
• Link global CSS & Script files
• Establish overall look-n-feel
37. page layout
• The insides of an overall
page
• Designers can create
multiple, content creators
can pick-n-choose
41. summary: why use web best
practices
• People already think your intranet is a website, so make
it like one
• Web usability teaches us we shouldn’t have to teach
• Good websites grow by learning what your people do
and helping them do it better
• One path to success usually breeds failure
