Intranet, Microsoft 365 and SharePoint

Accessible intranet and collaboration environments that ensure every employee can access the tools, content, and information they need.

Quick answer

Can you make our SharePoint or Microsoft 365 intranet accessible?

Yes. ExceedAbility designs and remediates Microsoft 365 and SharePoint intranets so every employee can use the tools, document libraries and collaboration features they rely on. We assess against WCAG 2.2 AA and PDF/UA and fix navigation, structure, templates and content.

Accessible digital workplaces

Internal platforms are often the most overlooked accessibility gap. Employees with disability need accessible intranets, document libraries, and collaboration tools just as much as external customers need accessible websites.

An inaccessible intranet doesn't just create frustration, it prevents employees from doing their jobs. We help organisations design and build Microsoft 365 and SharePoint environments where everyone can participate fully, from day one.

Common questions about accessible intranets and SharePoint

Plain answers to what workplace and IT teams ask us most.

Why does intranet accessibility matter as much as website accessibility?

Internal platforms are often the most overlooked accessibility gap. Employees with disability need accessible intranets, document libraries and collaboration tools just as much as customers need accessible public websites, and an inaccessible intranet can stop people doing their jobs.

What parts of SharePoint and Microsoft 365 do you cover?

We cover site structure and navigation, page templates, document libraries, lists, forms and the documents stored inside, plus guidance for content authors. The goal is an environment where new content starts accessible rather than needing constant remediation.

Can you fix an existing intranet or only build new ones?

Both. We design and build new accessible environments and remediate existing SharePoint and Microsoft 365 sites, starting with a review that prioritises issues against WCAG 2.2 AA.

Which standard do you assess SharePoint against?

We assess web content against WCAG 2.2 Level AA (87 success criteria across levels A, AA and AAA) and documents against PDF/UA (ISO 14289). The applicable standard is confirmed in scope before work begins.
