We won multiple awards from the North Carolina Press Association for our work on The Island Free Press.
Rebuilding the Island Free Press
In 2018, we worked together with the publisher of Hatteras Island’s most trusted newspaper.
The project was all-encompassing. The newspaper launched in 1994 and had not updated her site, newsletter, or workflow since. Updating the technology of the paper, newsletter, and advertising was a pretty monumental feat. We are proud of the results, and we love awards.
Check out the NC Press Association Awards.
Here are some of the aspects of the larger project:
- Designing, identifying, implementing new revenue streams
- Migrating 10 years of flat file html news into WordPress
- Building a custom Newspaper Theme
- Custom Business Listing Plugin
- Custom classifieds properly built to service the Outer Banks and Specifically Hatteras
- Twilio phone IVR
- Custom Mailgun integration for bulk weekly newsletter
- Newsletter plugin with integrated email advertising
