BRANDING & DESIGN
ELEMENTS
• Microsoft invested in this UI, why change it?
• Provide visual indicators to your current location
• Don’t clutter up the page or your users will get lost
• Even if your sites are not “connected” give the feel that
they are.

LESSONS LEARNED
• Engage your stakeholders regularly
• Managed Metadata fields are better if you implement
Office 2010
• Centrally-managing security is more of a headache up-
front, but later you might be glad you did it
• Mass loading documents is a daunting task for end-users
• Visual design elements and beauty photography work well
outside the business walls, but not for an Intranet
