Stop asking for SharePoint not to look like SharePoint

External Blog Post

As a SharePoint consultant, I work with hundreds of small to medium-sized businesses, assisting them with the transition to SharePoint Online and Microsoft 365.

Stop asking for SharePoint not to look like SharePoint is a phrase that has been used by Microsoft and other tech companies to encourage people to take advantage of the customization options available with SharePoint. It is a reminder that you can customize your site without having it look too much like a “SharePoint” site.

This includes changing the colors, fonts, layouts, branding elements, and more. By doing this, it allows users to create their own unique websites that are tailored specifically for their needs while still taking advantage of all the features offered by SharePoint.
