Yup, if you want to develop an internal site for your end users that doesn't look amateurish you're definitely going to want to go with a modern CMS system not one that is constantly 10+ years behind.

Wow are you ever right Ross!! Problem is...............it's just me. I'm the only user, I have M365 for my own data but run it as though I have a user base.

Carl_Williams , well then I guess it’s acceptable if you think so!
It surprises me in these days an ages of ever expanding resolutions and monitor sizes that people still use pixels for anything more then determining whether it’s a phone/tablet/monitor landscape or monitor portrait and then using percentages for aligning elements on the page. If the whitespace were set to 10% on either side then the page would size across different resolutions equally.

If SP adoption slows to a crawl maybe MS will direct some development effort towards the technology. I feel MS directs all their efforts in one direction at a time at the expense of their legacy core technologies. To stay competitive they are going to have to learn to continuously improve all their technologies at the same time otherwise they will find themselves irrelevant in the future.
