Engineering for publishing
The publishing engineering brief looks deceptively simple, text, images, and a CMS. The complexity is in the archive, the rights ledger, and the revenue stack. A migration that loses a URL loses search traffic that the business depends on. A rights system that miscalculates royalties owes contributors money or owes itself a refund. The work demands a careful attention to history that most consumer software doesn’t.
What we’ve shipped
We’ve delivered editorial CMS migrations preserving millions of archive URLs and SEO equity, rights and royalty platforms calculating contributor settlements across print, digital, and licensed re-use, ad-ops integrations into header bidding and direct sold inventory, and the subscription and entitlement stack that gates premium content. We’ve worked with publishing clients, national newspapers, educational publishers, and broadcast media, since 2010, and we operate parts of these platforms on behalf of clients with named on-call coverage.
