Project Brief

Microsoft needs a design for a SharePoint website that contains resources for public sector stakeholders to easily find content, experts, and help on cybersecurity policy

Key Insight

The current SharePoint design is not customized and feels more like a directory of folders with very little user experience to it; the new design needs to make use of the customization abilities of SharePoint to deliver a real website feel (that is, a website that does not look like a SharePoint website) that improves and restructures the user interface

Solution

Prepare creative concepts / designs for the SharePoint website homepage and two inner page layouts that align with current Microsoft branding guidelines and which have a real website feel with improved user experience
