We're making it easier than ever to bring your SharePoint site into the new social media era! We are excited to announce BindTuning’s new SharePoint Web Parts. 12 and counting...

BindTuning Web Parts SharePoint

All online portals, websites, intranets have one common purpose...to connect. That's what a user-oriented "social media era" site is all about. It's about connecting with people inside your company and to provide them a platform where they can be heard.

But that can mean a lot of work, especially if you are not a developer, like me.

That is why we've developed BindTuning gallery of Web Parts for SharePoint. To remove all the fuss and complexity of developing an intranet in SharePoint and more importantly for you to easily create an engaging intranet where your people can connect.

The Library comprises 12 web parts — Tiles, Slider, Calendar, Documents, Filters, Maps, Responsive Video, QuickLinks, Alerts, Weather, News, and People — all available for both Microsoft SharePoint 2013 and Office 365. We are also updating our gallery of web parts to support the new SharePoint Framework (SPFx), learn all about it here.

You might be wondering...

  • What if I want to customize the web parts?
    All web parts are customizable thanks to its custom forms with simple point and click options, and easy settings.
  • Will I have to code?
    No code. None. Nada. Never, You can customize all the web parts without even having to look at the code. Meaning you don't need to depend on developers. And if you are a developer or a designer? That means less development time for you my friend.
  • Are you saying I can customize the web parts without leaving SharePoint and without messing with the code?
    Yes! Along with the web parts we have rolled out what we like to call "Custom Forms" where you can change any of the web part's design aspect just by pointing and clicking - all this happens within SharePoint and without code. Each web part has its own Custom Form.
  • Are the web parts responsive?
    Well of course! Like all of the BindTuning themes, the web parts were also tested and are ready to adapt to any screen size. From phone to tablet and desktop.
  • Can I test it first?
    We are all about testing so we've also rolled out free trials for the web parts. You can request your own trial here.
  • Will there be more?
    We are already developing another set of SharePoint web parts that will include more amazing functionality.

If you'd like to test the web parts, feel free to request a free trial or book a demo.
