Customization of SharePoint 2010 Ribbon UI and
Office 365 Ribbon with tabs, groups, custom controls

Ribbon Designer
for Microsoft® SharePoint® and Office 365


The Ribbon Designer for Microsoft SharePoint and Office 365 is a framework that provides the True RAD way for customizing the Server Ribbon UI of your SharePoint and Office 365 solutions.

Forget Ribbon XML, concentrate on your applied code!

The Ribbon Designer helps you build a sophisticated Ribbon UI and lets you use your creativity and skills to focus on your business logic. Plus, without learning the Server Ribbon XML, you concentrate on the applied code and bring your SharePoint solutions to the market faster.

Visual designers instead of coding

Instead of coding, you use visual designers to handle such routine tasks as:

  • Adding you own tabs or groups
  • Extending built-in tabs or groups
  • Customizing contextual groups
  • Creating dynamic menu items
  • Specifying and controlling positions and visibility of your custom controls
  • Replacing built-in controls with your own
  • Enabling or disabling controls
  • Handling server-side and client-side Ribbon events
  • Importing any existing Server Ribbon UI from XML files

Not only XML replacement

Written in C#, the Ribbon Designer delivers not only visual designers. It includes a set of ribbon-specific components and project templates that can be included in your new or existing SharePoint or Office 365 solutions.

Office 365 in focus

In addition to on-premise SharePoint Servers, the Ribbon Designer was designed and tested with sandboxed solutions for all plans of Microsoft Office 365 starting from plan P to E4. So, no matter what kind of solutions you develop for your on-premise SharePoint or Office 365, internal-use prototypes or worldwide distributed Office 365 applications - the Ribbon Designer is a comprehensive tool for you.
