Using Storipress as
a content management system
What technical solution did Elysium use before moving to Storipress?
Previously, Elysium utilised WordPress for its website management, a traditional CMS that allows significant flexibility in how you use content and manage your site, demonstrating how a CMS allows for versatile use of website’s content. However, the platform posed usability issues for the authors, requiring additional software for content planning and scheduling.
Of course, WordPress also required multiple plug-ins for important features like SEO and security, making managing Elysium's website a prolonged and costly process, requiring additional and ongoing technical support. In addition, some of their authors found it intimidating and opted to send their content via email, Word documents or Google Docs, further complicating the document management and all-around publication process of Elysium. This made their experience slow and cumbersome causing delays in the content creation and distribution.
What problems with the content workflow did Elysium have?
Elysium magazine faced challenges in efficiently managing its web content creation process. Coordinating with multiple authors, organising submissions, and scheduling articles for publication were time-consuming tasks that hindered workflow efficiency in managing digital content.
Their main problems in organising and managing the process of content creation were related to the authors, as we've already mentioned. Content writers typically used to submit their articles in various formats and this decentralised approach led to difficulties in tracking and managing submissions, resulting in inefficiencies in the content creation process. Also, prior to adopting Storipress, the Elysium team had to manually post each submitted articles on the website, adding to the workload and the need to use external software to plan, manage and schedule the content.
Adopting a CMS like Storipress, which includes workflow management could streamline these operations, offering the benefits of a built in publication process flow in the content management system, thus enhancing efficiency and collaboration.
