Microsoft Tools for Small and Medium Businesses AMA
Event details
I have been chasing the 365 dream for over 2 years. Can't wait to find what others are doing b/c I am still paying for services like Wix and Notion.
I would love to see some division heads on this AMA so that they will prioritize some of the needs of the small business owners. This hopefully will be productive but I fear that your going to face some irritated customers.
I listened to a podcast for Sharepoint that was great called Sharepoint Intrazone. Jeff Teper told a great story https://john-shelburne.notion.site/Jeff-Teper-Is-Your-Copilot-8c60977579a347acb716aa54e3fd27eb

Hey John, Bryan provided some great recommendations. Wanted to add that if you're looking for something internal to your organization or business, for website building you can use SharePoint. We've recently added several new capabilities that should make creating a site easier than ever like the new authoring toolbox and design ideas for pages to custom fonts. Check out the SharePoint Blog for more details.
- the_catfixOct 05, 2024Iron ContributorThanks for the resource. I have looked at the new updates and I am pretty much committing to learning powershell to move away from the UI. I love what your doing but you literally have everything you need in Sharepoint for external and internal pages. I could go on for hours about my journey with sharing externally but it is not worth it. Here is a page of resources I use https://gist.github.com/thecatfix/7d4c4a676b43cc31d74dfe5f0462264c

Hey John, thank you for participating in this conversation. I want to share that Microsoft is committed to providing the best experience we can for our customers. That said, you mentioned two specific solution areas, Wix and Notion, where Microsoft does offer products. For a website builder, you can check out our low-code solution call Power Pages. We also offer Loop as an alternative to Notion. Loop comes included as part of the business and enterprise Microsoft 365 packages.- the_catfixOct 05, 2024Iron ContributorHard No on Power Pages. I loved the idea when rolled out. Spent time learning and the entire power platform is another domain that i had to learn. Do you realize how many Kevin Stratvert videos I have consumed??? My Kevins Cookie Company Test Page was not fun. https://youtu.be/QFNbPeGCBqo?si=FnZtSZcZmif21Y3g https://youtu.be/2RzCbd5XgJg?si=TGqHTM1h18l_Y_gV Then you have these gems on Youtube https://youtu.be/8Kvp6ctI61o?si=660Po1cQQEEQcqS7 https://youtu.be/ZEWdD_T_jYA?si=0FXILdn5_9XENQyu As for Loop......I will go toe to toe with anyone at Microsoft to discuss potential and short comings I was all about it but it is still in beta. Even promoted it on social media b/c i loved it so much. Then I had to figure out sharing externally (nightmare fuel) https://vimeo.com/829254639
