Intranet on the go

Every example works in your pocket

A modern intranet can't be desk-bound. The same homepage, news, directory and search your employees use on a laptop should travel with them on a native mobile app.

Design best practices

What makes a great intranet design

The best intranet examples above all share the same design principles. Keep these in mind whichever layout you start from.

Keep it simple

A clean, uncluttered layout beats a busy one. Every element on the page should earn its place.

Prioritize what matters

Put the most important news, links and tools at the top where people see them first.

Make search effortless

A fast, prominent search bar — ideally AI-powered — is the backbone of a usable intranet.

Aggregate with widgets

Group related content into widgets and columns instead of one long, scrolling list.

Keep content fresh

Stale content kills adoption. Use expiry dates and owners so information stays accurate.

Balance and color

Use symmetry and a vibrant but on-brand palette so no single element overwhelms the page.

Enable self-service

Let people update profiles, find documents and complete tasks without asking anyone.

Design for mobile

Assume the smallest screen first so deskless and remote employees get the full experience.

Plan your intranet

How to plan an intranet in 5 steps

Use the examples above as a starting point, then follow this sequence to design an intranet your team will actually use.

  1. 01

    Define your objectives

    Decide what the intranet is for and who it serves — comms, knowledge, culture, or all three.

  2. 02

    Map your structure

    Plan your information architecture: the homepage, the spaces, and how people navigate between them.

  3. 03

    Choose your core sections

    Pick the pages to build first from the examples above — homepage, HR, knowledge base, team hubs.

  4. 04

    Brand & design it

    Apply your colors, logo and voice to a template so the intranet feels unmistakably yours.

  5. 05

    Launch, train & iterate

    Roll out with a launch plan, train early adopters, then keep improving from real feedback.

Intranet examples — frequently asked questions

What is an example of an intranet?
An intranet is a private, secure platform where employees find news, documents, tools and each other. Common examples include a company homepage, department hubs, an HR self-service portal, a knowledge base, an internal newsroom and an onboarding hub. See our explainer on intranet examples for more.
What should an intranet homepage include?
The best intranet homepages lead with featured news, surface the quick links people use most, show a live activity stream, and keep global search one click away — all in a clean, uncluttered layout that prioritizes the most important content first.
What are intranet design best practices?
Keep it simple, prioritize what matters at the top, make search effortless, aggregate content into widgets, keep content fresh with owners and expiry dates, use symmetry and on-brand color, enable employee self-service, and design mobile-first.
Are there intranet templates I can use?
Yes. Rather than starting from a blank page, you can begin from a proven layout — an essential homepage, a newsroom, an event center, an employee handbook, an about-us hub, a campaigns page or a file center — and adapt it to your brand and content.
What makes a good company intranet?
A good intranet is one employees actually use. That means content people care about (recognition, news, user-generated posts), fast search, a clean design, mobile access, and a clear structure so anyone can find what they need quickly.
How do I plan and build an intranet?
Define your objectives, map your information architecture, choose the core sections to build first, brand and design them, then launch with a training plan and iterate from feedback. Our 8-step launch guide walks through it.
