ShortPoint review
A SharePoint-focused design layer for teams building branded intranet pages and news.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
ShortPoint is a no-code intranet design tool for communications, HR, IT and other teams working in Microsoft SharePoint and Microsoft 365. It helps them create branded pages, portals, news sites, dashboards, directories and onboarding hubs, rather than serving as a broad, standalone intranet suite. Its visual live and grid page builder, templates, site-wide theme controls and responsive layouts suit teams whose priority is shaping the intranet experience. AI Designer also supports prompt-based page creation.
The design layer connects with SharePoint, Microsoft Graph, Microsoft Teams, Power BI, Power Apps, Outlook calendars, REST APIs, XML web services and RSS feeds. Live data connections can bring in SharePoint, Microsoft Graph, APIs and Microsoft 365 sources, while employee directories, SharePoint news publishing and aggregation, and audience- and device-based visibility address common intranet content needs. These capabilities make ShortPoint a closer fit for teams extending their SharePoint environment than for organizations seeking a platform independent of it. Deployment is self-hosted, and the listed environments include SharePoint Online, SharePoint Subscription Edition, SharePoint Server and Microsoft Teams.
According to the vendor’s pricing page, Lite costs $1,998 per year and includes one designer, one SharePoint site, core elements, a basic Theme Builder, and standard email and Zoom support. Pro costs $3,998 per year, with one designer, unlimited sites, all 80+ design elements, full API connections, a complete Theme Builder and priority support. Enterprise adds unlimited designers, a design workshop and custom template, a dedicated success manager, custom onboarding and training, and dedicated support. The product has a 15-day free trial with no card required. ShortPoint makes sense for teams that value SharePoint page design and branding; teams seeking a broader intranet product or non-self-hosted deployment should look elsewhere.
