Templates & themes for sharepoint online

Hi 

I am currently looking for themes & templates to make a custom branding for one of my customers; he askeg for 2 different templates for simple extranet sites including team sites with doc & contacts lib in each site.

I found out BindTuning & sharepointpackages.

We mostly need to customize sharepoint 365 landing page, site collection navigation page, team site navigation in doclib and contatc list, & basic webparts such as last modified docs. 

Does anyone have experience in this subject?

I also know LiveTiles, but customer asks for a solution with a one shot payment, not a subscription.

Thank you in advance.

    Do you happen to know the timeline for MSFT to finish changing SharePoint UI?

      Hi Scott,

       

      it is  a continues traject so it will never be one line.

      But it will take some time and if you keep yourself to the guidelines you are out of trouble.

       

      kr,

  • agree with jcgonzalezmartin plenty of changes happening, but with the use of Alternate CSS and JS Embed Pattern (Office PnP) you can acheive some amazing branding results.

  • My 2 cents here:
    (1) You cannot customize default SPO landing page (at least for now)
    (2) As you surely now, Microsoft is chaning completely the user interface of SPO so you might have this into account before going ahead with customizations for your customer
    (3) Look & Feel and navigation are different stuff...for Look & Feel you can use third party products like the one mentioned...but again, bear in mind the changes Micorosft is doing in the user interface
    (4) Be carefull with customizations in lists and document libraries, since they are changing

      Juan, is right and please be sure you do not get a Sandbox solution as they are outdated on Office365.
