Who They Are
Design-first SharePoint — without a single developer.
ShortPoint is the platform that answers one of the most common frustrations in enterprise Microsoft environments: SharePoint looks and feels like software from another era. ShortPoint solves that with a powerful no-code design engine that sits on top of SharePoint, letting business users and communications teams create modern, beautiful intranet pages independently.
Used by thousands of organizations across the globe — from Fortune 500 enterprises to government agencies — ShortPoint has become the de-facto standard for organizations that want a world-class intranet experience without the development cost or complexity.

Microsoft 365 Native Integration
ShortPoint works entirely within the Microsoft 365 ecosystem — no external infrastructure, no data leaving your tenant, fully compliant with Microsoft's security and governance model.
Best-Fit Use Cases
A design layer for teams that own the SharePoint experience.
Communications and department sites
Build branded home pages, news destinations, HR portals, and departmental hubs from reusable elements and templates while allowing communications owners to update pages visually.
Onboarding and employee resources
Combine page templates, directories, quick links, documents, and live SharePoint content into focused destinations for new hires and existing employees.
Live-data experiences
Use ShortPoint Connect to display and filter content from SharePoint lists and libraries, Microsoft services, and supported external data sources instead of manually duplicating it on a page.
How To Evaluate It
Start with designers, sites, and data sources.
ShortPoint licenses are structured around the people who design pages and the number of SharePoint sites involved. Buyers should identify page owners, target sites, brand standards, reusable layouts, and the information each experience needs to surface before selecting a plan.
Teams can install ShortPoint in a site or explore it in sandbox mode. Because Connect can draw from several sources, IT and content owners should validate permissions, connection methods, refresh behavior, and governance for every planned integration. Onboarding and training vary by plan.
