The SharePoint intranet platform with per-tenant pricing.

ShortPoint Lite is single-designer single-site by design. The moment you need a second SharePoint site, the plan steps up to Pro ($3,998/year), and additional designers above the one included are priced on request. Athena Essentials at £290/month includes unlimited sites and unlimited designers, flat. The per-tenant structure removes the per-designer maths entirely.

The most common question when buying a new intranet: "do we have to move our files?" With Athena, no. The Quick Links Libraries webpart opens your existing SharePoint document libraries inside the new intranet via an in-page modal. Files stay where they are, permissions stay intact, users continue working as before. An Athena rollout typically takes hours, not months.

Six guided steps, journaled to a self-provisioning SharePoint list so a deployment can resume after a tenant policy interrupt. An MSP first-line engineer or in-house SharePoint admin can deliver a polished customer intranet in under an hour, without prior intranet experience.

Athena runs entirely inside your existing Microsoft 365 tenant. No data leaves the tenant boundary. No third-party SaaS receives your customer data. No external hosting is involved. For UK organisations with specific data residency requirements, this is structural compliance, not opt-in.

Athena lives inside SharePoint's native page-editing experience. To add a webpart, you use SharePoint's standard authoring flow: open the toolbox, add the Athena Launcher, pick your webpart. To configure it, you use SharePoint's standard property pane (with Athena's branded controls inside it). Anyone who can publish a news post in SharePoint today can use Athena tomorrow.

By contrast, ShortPoint's Live Mode and Grid Mode are proprietary page-builders, capable tools, but a different interaction model that designers learn separately from the rest of SharePoint. For teams whose intranet authors are regular SharePoint users, HR, communications, departmental admins, Athena's “no new interface to learn” approach reaches more contributors with less training time.

Athena ships turnkey point solutions as webparts: a Graph-backed Org Chart & Directory with manual override system, a self-provisioning Knowledge Base with rich-text editor, a Policy Pulse compliance acknowledgement system with Entra audience targeting, an auto-provisioning Events filmstrip, a self-provisioning Noticeboard with six first-class categories. Each one replaces a category of standalone SaaS that organisations typically pay £5-15 per user per month for separately.

ShortPoint provides 80+ design elements (Person Cards, FAQ, Image Boxes, CTA Card, Content Boxes, lists, and so on): superb raw materials for designers who want to assemble exactly what they need. Athena's approach is different: pre-built features ready to deploy. For a 100-user company already paying for a separate org chart SaaS, a separate wiki, and a separate policy management tool, Athena's bundled feature webparts often pay for themselves before the first month closes.
