13. Site Branding, Styling and Image Creation

Branding plays a key role in making your SharePoint site visually engaging and aligned with your organization’s identity.

In this section, we’ll explore two levels of branding: SharePoint’s built-in site-wide branding options and on-page design elements—what I like to call “guerrilla branding.”

We’ll also dive into image creation, using Figma for professional design and PowerPoint as an accessible alternative. If you’re not into design, no worries—I’ll provide ready-to-use templates. By the end, you’ll have the tools to enhance your site’s look and feel effortlessly.
