Because great design isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about functionality, engagement, and inspiring your employees to use the platform. That’s where the SharePoint Web UI Kit in Figma comes in. This powerful tool allows you to prototype and visualize your SharePoint intranet’s look and feel before launch.

With the SharePoint Web UI Kit in Figma, you can prototype quickly, share designs with stakeholders, and iterate until it’s perfect. Because let’s face it—a well-designed intranet isn’t just a nice-to-have; it’s the foundation of a connected, engaged workplace. 👉 Let’s connect for more insights on SharePoint intranets, internal communications, and digital transformation.
