A New Day at Press Publisher
It is, to say the least, a fantastic day at Press Publisher. We have been working on this system for longer than any of us can really remember, but we have finally made it a reality. Formerly known as Periodical Publisher, the new system is called Press Publisher - Online Publishing System.
We came upon the realization that there was no truly affordable software that specifically catered to an online publication or periodical. Small magazines and independent publications had no system designed exclusively for them. Blogs, while highly effective were being forced to serve a purpose they really weren't designed to do. So the idea was born and finally, well over a year later, the system is now live.
Our main concern is with the templates. As a fast integration, we registered with Monster Templates and linked to a company that offers free templates to download. This would allow users to have a great selection to choose from, but this will not stay. We are currently considering a variety of companies to partner with to offer a series of pre-designed, free templates to choose from. This is almost complete and we will be including those in the coming weeks.
Overall, the system has been well tested with a variety of clients and organizations with excellent reception. We have produced a series of unique content management systems over the years, but this is by far, the most well designed and functional system we have built or seen for that matter. That is not to say that it is complete. Is a software package ever really complete? We look forward to a larger audience seeing and providing us with their feedback so that the system functionality will grow based on user comments and recommendations.
All in all, we are proud to have made the system/website live and will continue to improve both the website and system. In addition, we have been collecting publishing resources that we will be including on the site and will cover those here on our blog.
A great day indeed.
