A newspaper website that works for you
The website management systems we work with for newspaper web design have the flexibility and power for your newsroom, advertising department, circulation and inside sales departments to have a website that works together seamlessly: posting news, taking subscriptions, submitting classifieds and monitoring ads on the site. In addition, the site is designed to work for you and add to your business plan.
Newspapers and magazines we have worked with report the following:
• Increased traffic to their site (resulting in higher ad revenue within 6 months)
• Increased reader loyalty (more readers used the site more often)
• Higher classified ad sales (as the ease of buying online increased)
• Increased print subscriptions and online subscriptions
• Untapped Revenue: Continually higher ad revenue generated from web ads
• Untapped Revenue: Online subscriptions for premium web content
In short, our web designs and development have made newspapers money, opened up new ad markets and increased readership and loyalty.
I have a small community newspaper without an IT or web staff. My regular staff is new to the web. How do I know that they have the technical ability to update the website?
The rule of thumb that you should generally go by is this. (Which was actually taken from another Website, but summed up everything really well): If you have the technical know-how to construct an email with an attachment, create a formatted document with Microsoft Word, and navigate through a web site, you have the skills needed for content management. It really is that easy, provided you have the right content management software.
What we do
Full content management systems to fit your newspaper's website needs from the ground up. Customizable, easy to use, automated and functional.
This has been our philosophy in creating websites for newspapers throughout the United States. Our staff has worked with large newspapers in the Phoenix-metro area to small newspapers in the small towns of Vermont to bring papers of any size and circulation to the forefront of the web.
A newspaper website design and programmed by Maine Web FX is much more than just a few pages slapped together to get the news online. We take the time to look and evaluate your needs. We understand some of the very real hurdles newspapers are facing as the medium defines itself online. Our experience is strong in all aspects of the newspaper industry.
Each website we create is unique to its parent newspaper. The process is threefold.
