Intranet design showcase
There are not many example Intranet designs available for review, perhaps because of the nature of the Intranet which is for internal consumption only. There is no reason why Intranet can’t be functional as well as attractive & pleasing to use, after all who wants to work all day on a badly designed system?
In the show case below we present 5 Intranet designs powered by Claromentis Intranet & Extranet Manager.
MySunPower - SunPower Intranet (USA)

MySunPower hompage is filled with 4 most recent company news. Main navigation is located on the left, while sidebar on the right provides easy access to company calendar, worldtime & corporate portals such as Competitive Intelligence & Community Portal. These are also great examples of bespoke development with the Claromentis API to add value to the information layer. CEO blogs are fed through the lower right box.
The Matrix - The Albany Group Intranet (UK)

The main area of Albany Intranet displays a greeting box, scrolling notice bar , latest news and what’s new box. On the right hand side there are shortcuts to various application, world time & calendar widgets. The design is clean, sharp and enhanced by glossy glass fx.
Eureka - CareUK Intranet (UK)

Clean and simple - Care UK intranet focuses on searching in the middle area. Users are encourage to search information while the most recent company news is displayed at the lower box. The sidebar provides a selection of jump links to other applications or areas within the intranet.
Basecamp - The North Face Intranet (USA)

Basecamp - Accessing The North Face Intranet you will be greeted by a welcome video. Latest blog posts are displayed on the homepage and the illustration provides user with a shortcut to each individual departmental homepage.
Athena - Nominet Intranet (UK)

Athena - The nominet’s intranet uses “tile-design”, each individual tile is a window to further information. The design is very web 2.0-ish, it looks friendly and inviting. It is good example where an intranet can be beautful as well as functional. I am having too much fun navigating around beautiful icons and tile designs!
