DevMotion has been quite busy those three last months helping NationalJournal, an Atlantic Media Company publication, switch to a new Content Management System, that will support their new business needs. Along with that a complete re-design of their website has been performed.
The National Journal Group has changed their online strategy: their three main publications are now integrated in a single website; more free content will be available, mainly breaking news and analysis, while deeper policy analysis will stay behind the paywall. A brand new mobile website is also part of that new offer, along with an iPad application which is still in development but expected soon.
DevMotion helped NJG integrate and customize Nstein’s WCM, and developped some specialized and key features to support their new needs (to name a few):
- a paywall system, over which sits an interface layer for the iPad and Iphone applications;
- a semantic faceted search module leveraging extracted linguistic meta data;
- an import module to ingest on-going feeds (NewsML);
- an export module to export / syndicate content to partners;
- a user tracking mechanism.
You can see the result of all the hard work from everybody involved in the project at www.nationaljournal.com.
