Building a SharePoint site from scratch may seem complex—but with the right tools, structure, and expert support, it becomes a strategic asset for your business. Whether it’s for team collaboration, document management, or an internal intranet, custom SharePoint site development allows you to create tailored solutions that streamline workflows and boost productivity.
Step 1: Define Your Objectives
Before diving into development, define what your SharePoint site will be used for. Is it for internal communication, project tracking, or client engagement? Understanding the site’s purpose helps shape the structure and functionality from the start.
Step 2: Choose the Right Platform
You’ll need to decide between SharePoint Online (cloud-based) or SharePoint On-Premises. SharePoint Online offers easier access, real-time collaboration, and seamless integration with Microsoft 365 apps. A certified SharePoint agency like Dotsquares can help you make the right decision based on your business needs and compliance requirements.
Step 3: Plan Your Site Structure
Map out your main site, subsites, navigation, lists, libraries, and user roles. This stage is critical for usability and performance. A skilled SharePoint web developer will ensure your architecture is scalable and intuitive.
Step 4: Customize the Site
This is where custom SharePoint site development kicks in. You can integrate workflows using Power Automate, build custom forms with Power Apps, and even extend your site with SPFx (SharePoint Framework). Dotsquares has Microsoft Certified Developers and SharePoint Certified Developers who can turn your vision into reality—whether you need branding, automation, or third-party integrations.
Step 5: Testing and Launch
Before going live, thoroughly test your site: permissions, responsiveness, user experience, and performance. Run a pilot launch, gather feedback, and fine-tune as needed.
