One place for everything. Staff actually use.
Email is not an intranet. IP Four builds modern SharePoint intranets with news, policies, department pages, and people directories that staff visit every day because they are genuinely useful.
An intranet built for how your business communicates.
From communication sites to policy libraries and people directories, we build every component your intranet needs to become the place staff go first.
Communication Site Design
Modern SharePoint communication sites designed to reflect your brand. Homepage with news, quick links, and key metrics. Department pages with relevant content for each team.
News and Announcements
Company news published and distributed through SharePoint. News posts appear on the intranet homepage and in Teams. Staff notified automatically when important announcements are published.
Policy and Procedure Library
Central library for all company policies, procedures, and HR documents. Version controlled and reviewed on schedule. Staff always access the current version. Acknowledgement tracking available.
Department Pages
Dedicated pages for each department with relevant news, documents, contacts, and quick links. Maintained by department owners with no IT involvement required for day-to-day updates.
Custom Branding and Design
Intranet branded with your logo, colours, and typography. Custom themes applied across all sites. Navigation designed for your organisation structure. Mobile-responsive on all devices.
People Directory and Search
Staff directory powered by Microsoft 365 profiles. Search returns people, documents, and pages in one results view. Expertise search helps staff find colleagues with specific skills.
From requirements to intranet launch.
Requirements Workshop
We run a workshop with key stakeholders to understand what staff need from the intranet, what content exists, and what the intranet needs to achieve for the business.
Information Architecture
Site structure, navigation, and page hierarchy designed. Content inventory completed. Owners identified for each section. Governance model agreed before build begins.
Design and Branding
Intranet design created using your brand guidelines. Homepage wireframes reviewed and approved. Custom theme configured in SharePoint. Mobile layout verified.
Build and Configuration
Communication sites built to approved designs. Department pages created. Policy library configured. News web parts added. Navigation configured. Permissions applied.
Content Migration
Existing policies, procedures, and key documents migrated to the new intranet. Content reviewed and updated during migration. Outdated content archived or deleted.
Launch and Adoption
Staff communications prepared. Launch event or video walkthrough provided. Content owners trained on publishing and updating pages. Usage analytics reviewed monthly.
Intranets delivered for UK organisations.
Financial Services Firm, London
A 200-person financial services firm had no central intranet. Policies were emailed out, announcements were missed, and new starters had no single place to find company information.
Modern SharePoint intranet launched with policy library, news feed, and department pages. New starter completion rate for required reading increased from 40 percent to 95 percent within two months.
Healthcare Provider, Manchester
A private healthcare group needed an intranet that worked across three sites with different departments. Staff had no visibility of what was happening across the organisation.
Multi-site SharePoint intranet deployed with a shared news hub and site-specific department pages. Cross-site news reach increased by 80 percent. Policy acknowledgement tracking implemented for CQC compliance.
Education Trust, Yorkshire
A multi-academy trust needed a single intranet for 500 staff across eight schools. Each school needed its own identity while sharing trust-wide policies and news.
Hub site architecture deployed with a trust-level communication site and individual school sites. Shared policy library with school-specific sections. Trust-wide news visible to all staff. School-specific content managed locally.
