Intranets

4. Building It from Scratch

4.1 Setting up a simple intranet is similar to building a website. So if you run an office network and have web design expertise in-house, you should be able to create a basic intranet easily.

4.2 You can use web design software to build your intranet pages.

  • For example, Adobe Dreamweaver or Microsoft Expression Web.

4.3 Costs may include buying hardware and software, plus the time of your employees.

  • You may need help from a consultant to build more complex features, like creating a live feed from your customer database.
  • Management costs can be significant, particularly if you need to keep a lot of information up-to-date.
