Excellent demonstration of the power in the SharePoint platform

As a SharePoint developer and consultant, when I am asked if something can be done with SharePoint or how to solve a business problem my thoughts often start with (or quickly arrive at) SharePoint Features created in Visual Studio projects and deployed as SharePoint Solutions. In truth I shouldn’t need reminding, I see evidence all the time that there are often very simple solutions to solve business requirements and the use of Visual Studio can often be seen as a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

Case in point, UK based SharePoint MVP Alex Pearce has posted a really nice little tutorial; Add a Banner to your SharePoint Site. It’s a perfect example of the power in the WSS/MOSS platform; a solution that can be quickly and easily created and up and running on a pilot site but has the potential to be deployed as a SharePoint Feature, and therefore a Solution, if so required.
