Are You Struggling With These Common SMB SharePoint Development Challenges?

Many SharePoint implementations fall short because out-of-the-box features can’t handle your specific workflows. Here are some of the frustrations we solve every day for businesses like yours.

Old SharePoint customizations stopped working

SharePoint Designer workflows or legacy custom code that broke after Microsoft 365 updates. Your business processes are stalled, and the original developer is long gone.

You've hit no-code/low-code limits

Power Apps and Power Automate are great, until you need something they can't easily do. Now you're stuck between "it almost works" and "hire an expensive consultant".

Worried about proprietary solutions

Concerned that custom development means being locked into one vendor with no documentation, inflated maintenance fees, and zero ability to modify solutions yourself.

SharePoint, Teams, Planner not working together

Multiple Microsoft 365 apps creating data silos and duplicate work. Manual copying between systems because nothing talks to each other properly.

Custom solutions break on mobile devices

Your team works from phones and tablets, but SharePoint's mobile experience is clunky. You need responsive, mobile-friendly forms and interfaces that actually work.

Performance issues with large data sets

Your SharePoint list has thousands of items and everything moves at a snail's pace. You need optimized queries, proper indexing, and/or a complete architectural redesign.

If even one of these sounds familiar, professional SharePoint development can transform your business processes—and Abel Solutions delivers maintainable, documented solutions that work.
