[Norwood, Randy]

Sharon:

We have Sharepoint MOSS 2007 for our intranet, so there's not much of it that you could explore. Customizing ("branding") a public-facing site in Sharepoint is more difficult than with a typical static-HTML-based site. The high-level design decisions are the same, but understanding how to implement them in Sharepoint is a bit more involved. For some introductions to this, see http://www.cleverworkarounds.com/2007/10/08/sharepoint-branding-how-css-works-with-master-pages-part-1/ , http://www.heathersolomon.com/blog/articles/brandsppart1.aspx , and http://blogs.msdn.com/randalli/archive/2006/11/06/branding-sharepoint-sites-msdn-articles-published.aspx 

As for training/consulting, I highly recommend Sharepoint Solutions (http://moss.sharepointsolutions.com/Pages/default.aspx). In particular, one of our staff attended the course "Extreme Makeover SharePoint 2007 Edition - Branding and Customization" and found it to be very useful.

Also, http://www.sharepointblogs.com/default.aspx , which is a gateway to a huge number of resources.

HTH,

 Hi Sharon, 

Here's a good resource for public-facing sites:
http://www.wssdemo.com/Pages/websites.aspx 

We do not have a public-facing Sharepoint site - We convinced the City
we should do our major experimenting on the Staff side first this time,
so we are starting Sharepoint pilot projects there next month.

I have been charged with redesigning our public facing site in
SharePoint which is a new software package for me.  All classes I have
taken have been for Intranet site creation, and I have met many road
blocks.  I am looking for any and all help that is out there.

 

If you have a public facing web site in SharePoint, I have some
questions.  Was it done by an outside company?  If so, can you give the
name of the company?  Were certain classes taken?  If so, what were
they?  Do you know of any classes for creating a public facing site?
What books can you recommend for setting up a public facing website
using SharePoint?  What was the timeframe for creating your site in
SharePoint?  How much of your staff was involved?

 

Thank you in advance for your time.  Thank you also for forwarding this
to the correct staff member if you cannot be of assistance.
