Overview

A Google Sites-based intranet is tailored to the needs of your organization. It can be a simple site that has all your needs or a sophisticated site for complex firms.

To achieve this, you need an intranet design that works for your employees. The human-centered design (HCD) and best-practice user centered-design (UX) techniques should be used when creating modern Google Sites-based intranets.


In particular, these are the techniques to be used:



So, when designing a Google-based intranet, which one should you use? 


Let’s find out!

Wireframes

Wireframing is the traditional approach and is used when there are big and complex systems to make sure that things are intuitive. It’s valuable because it allows your ideas to be refined and formulated. With the use of modern development and simplified UX, a Google-based intranet or Steegle.One can be a powerful tool in delivering business solutions. 

Prototypes

The advantage of a Google-based intranet or Steegle.One is that it can build a site in minutes and it’s so much faster in developing prototypes better than wireframing. 


That is in big bulky and old systems as well as more complex systems like Microsoft SharePoint you should wireframe a lot but you don't have to deal with that with Steegle.One. 

With the Google Site’s drag-and-drop feature, you can easily choose elements to be added to the page. When things go wrong, you can quickly correct them.


Since Steegle.One is a cloud-hosted platform, it enables users to view the “live” version of the site right away, instead of having to be built on a development server and then go through stating sites before being released into production.

Creating Functional Intranets

Intranets are considered successful when it is highly usable. With a Google-based intranet, prototyping and designing a modern intranet can be done easily. If the solutions are more complicated, then wireframing is powerful. Either way, there are a range of design techniques that can be used in creating an intranet project.
