What our clients say
Our SharePoint intranet had great content, but employees constantly complained that it was too hard to find anything. Since implementing LightPath Navigation, we’ve eliminated frustration with clear, structured navigation and audience-based menus. Now, employees spend less time searching and more time getting work done.
Our Internal Communications team struggled to make SharePoint work for their needs. They wanted a branded, structured intranet but didn’t have the budget or time for a major overhaul. LightPath gave them the tools to create a polished, engaging experience—without requiring IT to build and maintain custom solutions. It was simple to deploy, easy to manage, and delivered results fast.
We struggled with low intranet adoption—employees simply weren’t using it. LightPath’s personalized navigation and improved branding made a huge difference. Employee engagement with our intranet increased by 65% within three months.
We considered a full intranet-in-a-box solution, but it was too expensive and complex. LightPath gave us all the functionality we needed—without the hefty price tag or long deployment time. It was up and running in days!
Questions we hear often
Short answers for buyers evaluating SharePoint navigation and employee experience tools.
What is LightPath Navigation?
LightPath Navigation is an enterprise SharePoint Online layer that replaces default site navigation with a branded mega menu, breadcrumbs, announcements, and centralized admin. It is delivered as SPFx web parts and application customizers—no separate hosting. Organizations use it to make intranets easier to navigate without custom development for every change.
How long does LightPath take to deploy?
Many customers go live in days to a few weeks: install the solution package, configure the admin web part (navigation, branding, features), and publish. Timeline grows if you need taxonomy design, content migration, or formal security review. Plan for pilot on a hub site before org-wide rollout.
What's included in LightPath vs. a full intranet-in-a-box?
LightPath delivers navigation, global chrome, announcements, analytics hooks, and a suite of employee web parts (search, FAQ, links, polls, recognition, and more) inside SharePoint. A full intranet-in-a-box often adds proprietary portals, extra CMS layers, or bundled services. LightPath assumes SharePoint remains your primary platform and strengthens it—compare feature lists and ongoing vendor lock-in before you choose.
Who builds LightPath?
LightPath Navigation is developed and supported by Klarinet Solutions, LLC, a Microsoft-focused SharePoint consultancy based in San Diego, California. Klarinet provides implementation, training, and ongoing support for LightPath customers.
Is LightPath only for SharePoint Online?
LightPath is built for Microsoft 365 and SharePoint Online (modern experiences). It is not designed for on-premises SharePoint Server farms. If you are hybrid, navigation and web parts apply to cloud workloads in line with Microsoft’s supported SPFx deployment model.
Where can we find detailed product documentation?
This site is a public overview. Full web-part and configuration documentation is typically delivered by Klarinet or your implementation partner as part of onboarding—release notes, admin guides, and customer-specific runbooks may live in your partner portal or SharePoint workspace, not here. Ask your project contact for the latest doc set and update cadence.
