30 Awesome SharePoint-powered Sites
Occasionally, people hear that I’m involved with SharePoint, and usually I get few basic questions about it. Frequently, they just want some branding examples, so they can see what it looks like. Sometimes after branding question next question will concern the usage of SharePoint in the enterprise world. And one thing I often hear is something like, it just does document repository, if I have a business site, I would want other platform? It is true that SharePoint is used primarily as document repository but in reality, SharePoint is THE best CMS tool for managing a business site. When I tell people this, they often ask me for some examples of websites using SharePoint.
So, I ended up creating this awesome list of SharePoint-based websites that really stand out.
Since new SharePoint sites are added to the general showcase every day I will update this beautiful collection pretty often. Make sure you bookmark this page and come back regularly to see more awesomeness.

Max, loved this article. Of the 30 websites that you list, how many of them are using SharePoint for the user interface, and how many are using SharePoint simply for content management on the backend?
Will this not be going away since Microsoft is doing away with Public sites?
Adam: Microsoft is only doing away with public sites for those using Office 365. If you are using SharePoint on-prem public sites are still an option.
Some great SharePoint sites there. Thanks for the info
These websites look great, but are they really just sharepoint or are there plugins being used and coding being done for the user interface?
Websites are awesome, being SharePoint developer i would like to know how much of coding and out of box features is used. Is sharepoint used only for data storage?
In terms of content management, does a Share point website do any thing better than Drupal ? Or is there something it does worse than Drupal ?
Does websites with high traffic use SharePoint? Which industry prefers SharePoint as a CMS?
OMG, these blow my mind. Thank you so much for sharing these – they give me something to strive for in terms of my own corporate enterprise site design using our enterprise SharePoint environment. “The art of the possibility” that’s what this shows me. How can I learn more about the “behind the scenes” on some of these, like what web parts were used in some of the general layouts, is there a way? Perhaps you’ve written another article on some of these? Either way, thank you very much for sharing these.
SharePoint is a place of preference. Great read though. Very resourceful.
I see alot of comments about how much is sharepoint, is it stored in SP, is it using out of box. I worked or. Large public company we used it in a dev-stage-live environment leveraging 3 servers with content deployment and approval workflows. The entire dev site allowed designers to add pages, ontent, lists populated product page items, navigation was all dynamic. Best of all departments did their own content, and managers approved it before it went live. Content would automatically expire or show thru scheduled items. Everything can be customized it’s alot of fun to extend onpremise. So much more on be done when you have it inhouse, and backups or making multiple front ends is as simple as building out the farm. I’m also sitecore certified so I’m familiar with that CMS it is more of a blank slate were SP has alot features like search, workflows and the admin backend is far superior but sitecore is just as extensible just more blank.
These are all SharePoint powered sites. As a technology enthusiast, I always check a lot of websites of SharePoint. Large scale enterprises will use SharePoint websites and server to manage their stuff.
These are stunning sites. I’m not a SharePoint pro by any means but I would love to be able to create sites like these for my organization. Is what I’m seeing in your examples possible with SharePoint out of the box? I imagine Designer plays a huge role in the creation of these sites?? I would pay to learn how to do this.
Not sure if all these sites will be available after 2018 since SharePoint Online Public Websites will be discontinued. For more details go to: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3027254/sharepoint-online-public-websites-to-be-discontinued
Luis, none of the sites on this list are SharePoint Online sites. They’re all SharePoint On-Prem, so they will not be affected.
