Building a beautifully designed intranet with SharePoint – latest design and branding capabilities

In this 39-minute demo, Cathy Dew and Katie Swanson step through four key SharePoint site design areas – applying brand identity, visual storytelling, content structure, and consistency. Cathy addresses Branding Application (latest capabilities supporting logo placement, navigation, and theming). Katie focuses on Content structure (content, imagery, and layout). Preview site header layouts, global navigation, and site templates. Microsoft continues to drive the layout flexibility and integration of SharePoint into Teams, yet the products remain independent solutions. It’s about delivering information where your customers work. This PnP Community demo is taken from the SharePoint (PnP) Community call – December 2020 – Monthly sync call recorded on December 8, 2020.

I appreciate that this video exists, but for changing certain settings, it would be EXTREMELY helpful if you show where the actual options are instead of just having a graphic say "Set in M365 Admin Center". The whole admin center interface is cluttered and confusing so being specific and SHOWING where these options are would be immensely helpful.

Agree on whitespace. My greatest struggle with SharePoint online is the LACK of white space between columns...

Thanks for the video, but doesnt help you build the site, it only shows what you can do. Please, also, the sounds. Its terrible. Having a good mic is not that expensive these days. People needs to start paying attention to this things as well.

I used "SharePoint Designer 2007" years ago, but unfortunately, I can no longer see the "code" and "design" environment In the main program window from the later versions. Please guide me if possible.

I appreciate the effort in making the video. However, this video is not helpful in any way as it doesn't show steps how to change logos, banners etc.

If the customer had asked he need to replace the organization logo with a site logo according to the loaded site/subsite URL what would be the answer?

Great content, but the uptalking by the presenter takes away from the professionalism and is distracting.
