So helpful! I implemented two items to my SharePoint site just by viewing this helpful video! You're a great presenter/teacher.

Great Tips, it has been helped me a lot. Thanks from Brazil.

[@moores1478]

Thanks so much for your content. It's helping me a ton. Question, is there a difference between the "SharePoint Intranet" and "SharePoint Communication Site" or is it the same thing just calling it an Intranet? Thanks!

[@Dougie_Wood]

Glad you are enjoying the content! I’m short they are the same thing. An intranet is usually referring to a collection of different sites. Typically 9 times out of ten the homepage of that intranet would be a communication site, then enabled to be a hub site. Hope that helps!

Hi Gareth, yes, you can email me at [e-mail]

[@chh8860]

Terrific design tips ... very helpful ... very well done (again). Two questions please 1) Can the font size of the 'mega menu' be increased? 2) I plan to develop several hub sites for several clients, each similar in design but separate and distinct. By design, a client will not have search capability to another client's hub site. However, I want to create and provide each client an economic and finance hub site to provide access for national finance and economic data. But I am realizing that the economic and finance hub site can only be associated with one client site. Is that correct? Is there a way to have the economic and finance hub site available to all clients without impairing the client's site security?

[@Dougie_Wood]

Thanks for the great feedback! 1) unfortunately not, the font/size is fixed at the moment. 2) Yes a site can only ever be associated to one Hub site. But you can nest Hubsites if that would be solution for you.

[@herrera2880]

If I don't see the some of the settings for some of the web parts you show or I'm missing some of the web parts you show. Is it because I'm running a different version or my IT group maybe has them locked out? For example I don't have call to action or I can't make section collapsable.

[@dxxtrr]

Can we only create events with times being :00 or :30? Is it possible somehow to set an event from let’s say 10:25 to 11:15?

[@Dougie_Wood]

I have never actually tried to be honest. Majority of the use cases for these types of events don’t require a time or are pretty much on the hour from what I have seen from experience. You could try seeing if you could manually type into the box like you can on outlook for specific times.

[@dxxtrr]

Manually overwriting the time did not work so far. Will have to check with our admins if there is some setting… thanks for your prompt reply! 😊

I have tried to have multiple Call to action buttons on a single layout. Unfortunately it isn't accepting it. I want to include 5 calls for action buttons. Is it possible?

[@Dougie_Wood]

Hey, yes you can have 5 call to action web parts. However, you can only put them in columns of 3. So the best you could do is have 2 rows. First row with 3 and the second row with 2. If it was me I would either try get the amount of call to actions to be 4 (2 rows of 2) or 6 (2 rows of 3)

[@ShravanKumarNangunoori]

@@Dougie_Wood In your video, You have One-third right section. In the left you were able to create 3 call to action webparts and I am able to create only one. Can you guide me how you did it and it's really helpful if you have a chance for a step by step process. I just want to replicate the same for my work. 🙂
