Microsoft SharePoint 2007 Hard to Skin?

SharePoint Dashboard designers used to struggle quite a bit when using the earlier versions of Microsoft Sharepoint for their projects. While SharePoint offered collaboration and document management functionality quite easily, it was not a simple matter to customize the look and feel.

It was hoped that the latest version SharePoint 2007 would be much easier to customize in terms of the design.

In speaking with a Dashboard Spy about the matter, I was pointed to two very interesting posts that all dashboard designers interested in Microsoft Sharepoint should study.

The blogger is Cameron Moll, an Interaction Design Manager in Utah. Here is a screenshot from his blog (sorry to steal it from you, Cameron!)

His post titled SharePoint 2007 – Pointedly Unskinnable is a fascinating retraction of the earlier post titled Skinning MS SharePoint with Standards.

Very interesting reads that you should check out!
