Digital Publishing for the ipad

With our partners we offer digital publication services for both the i-pad and i-phone.

How does it work?

Initially, you have to establish a branded application known as an ‘app’ for your title.

The following video shows you a typical example of how it would work and navigation

For example, if you had a magazine called, ‘careers today’, this would be defined as the title and it would house all your publications. Every time you publish your digital edition, you can also self publish your iPad/ iPhone editions to your title’s App (or we can do this for you).

Readers with iphone or iPads are notified when each new publication is available – either to buy or for free, depending on the model you choose. One model is to charge for each issue.
