4 Ways Dynamic Production Optimizes Page Design
Worry Free Workflow
Automation Driven
Collaboration Made Easy
Form & Function

A newspaper’s role in delivering news and stories to their local communities requires a captivating and well-structured layout in print and digital e-edition formats.

Dynamic Production, at its core, is built for automation and efficiency. The goal is to give publishers the ability to create a publication with a “minimal steps” approach to reduce the time spent building pages.

Dynamic Production simplifies online collaboration among advertising and editorial teams, allowing multiple users to work simultaneously on various aspects of the layout.

A well-designed newspaper layout is not only aesthetically pleasing but also strategically crafted to convey information effectively.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other CMS / editorial systems?
How long does it take to onboard?
Does it require InDesign?
What about classifieds?
How much does it cost?
Yes!

Dynamic Production works with any third-party content management system. We typically receive an xml feed which contains the story content, assets, and metadata.

We work with you

Our onboarding process has become increasingly efficient as we continue to build tools that automate repetitive tasks. While we can adapt to your desired timeline, the standard deployment time for the first publication is typically 10-12 weeks.

Nope!

Dynamic Production does NOT require InDesign to paginate pages. The software is browser-based and does not require any software downloads or licenses.

Of course!

Full classified pages can bypass the dynamic production system as designers won't need to touch them. Pages with half classifieds will place the Classified section like an ad and the system will place editorial content around it.

Depends on scale

Pricing scales based on the size of your newspaper. Schedule a discovery call for more details. Newspapers of all sizes are using it!
