Magazine

A website for an online magazine

For a magazine or outlet that publishes a few pieces a week: a front page of reports and interviews, technology, culture and city sections, most-read pieces and an editorial policy, in one ready site that publishes from day one.

Front page

A front page laid out like a magazine

A lead piece sits at the top, followed by reports, interviews and each section's pieces. You lay the page out in the page builder and move sections around, and each card shows its title, summary and section.

  • A lead piece with a large picture
  • Sections you move in the page builder
  • Piece cards with a summary and section

Sections

Technology, culture and city, a page each

Pieces file into technology, culture and city, and the top menu takes readers straight to them. A most-read list keeps the popular pieces in view.

  • Three sections with pages of their own
  • A most-read list
  • Login and an all-pieces page

Put your editorial policy in plain sight

The editorial policy page says every piece is read before it runs, corrections stay under the piece and sponsored writing carries a clear label. Readers know what they are trusting.

  • A promise of review before publishing
  • Dated corrections under the piece
  • A label for sponsored pieces

Take pieces from readers and accept corrections

The contact page is a simple route for sending a piece, a tip or a correction to the newsroom, with a promised reply within two working days. The about page says what the magazine is and what it publishes.

  • A newsroom address for pieces and corrections
  • About and contact pages
  • An invitation to new writers

FAQ

Common questions

Do the demo's articles and pictures become mine?

The site is built with these pages and sample articles so you can see how it works. Then you put your own articles in their place, or take the sample data out with one button.

Can I use my own colours and name?

Yes. You change the name, logo and two main colours in the settings and the whole site takes them.

Does it have an English site?

Yes. Every page and article takes an English translation and the visitor switches language from the header.

What else do I need to launch a magazine?

A domain and your own writing. Hosting, upkeep and updates are on Sima.
