NP8 and Woodwing Content Station together support content creation process at Netzmedien

About two months ago we released a re-design of netzwoche.ch on NP8, the Drupal 8 distribution for news portals that was created by Somedia and Gassmann in cooperation with MD Systems. Since then we released three more websites for the same publisher. Netzmedien is a publishing company that is focused in publications for tech-savvy audience.

Somedia Production as project lead was in charge of project management and design while we have been hired for the functional and frontend implementation.

As long term newsletter subscribers of the Netzwoche newsletter we are especially proud that a client with such a demanding customer base chose NP8.

NP8 distribution for rapid development

A rich set of features, its advanced components and the modern technology of NP8 allowed us to develop sites very rapidly. After the initial release of netzwoche.ch we published another media portal every two weeks. This achievement would not be possible without the right tool for the job. NP8 once again proved to be an excellent solution for mid to high profile media websites. 

Features like paywall, newsticker, marketplace, search, dossiers, ad provider integration and many more allow its users to focus on what is most important for them - creating and delivering highest quality content.

Would you like to know more about NP8? Let us know. We will be happy to prepare a free demo.

There is a Netzmedien website for everyone

All of the portals we created are oriented towards tech-savvy readership, but they still focus on slightly different target groups.

Integration with Woodwing Content station

Woodwing Content Station is an enterprise multi-channel publishing platform. Content for all four websites is created and curated on it and seamlessly delivered to the each individual platform. In order to achieve everything that our client required we worked with Woodwing’s developers to improve the official Woodwing integration module for Drupal 8. 

Multi-channel and digital-first publishing is one of our special interests and expertise. During our day-to-day work with media publishers we’re identifying many problems in this field that need to be solved. We believe that this project was another piece in a huge puzzle which we’re actively working on and are planning to push forward in the future. 

This project represented just a start of what we’re hoping to become a fruitful long-term collaboration. We’re currently working on a Drupal 8 integration with Woodwing’s digital asset management (DAM) subsystem, Elvis. Follow our blog if you’d like to hear more about this in the near future.
