Media Publishing Solutions

b13 has more than 20 years of experience supporting the media and publishing industries with websites, multi-channel, and web-to-print solutions. We work with you to create flexible, scalable, and extensible solutions to meet your digital publishing needs today and in the future.

Maintaining separate content production workflows for digital channels, web, and print slows and distracts your teams from producing engaging content. Having to manage your brand and assets across a multitude of websites and siloed systems can lead to excess costs and loss of control and oversight.

We build easy to use, well-structured, beautiful online publishing systems that improve your SEO ranking, attract more visitors, and keep them onsite longer. Enterprise-level brand-management, publishing workflows, and intuitive tools keep your editorial teams focused and productive.

… a massive benefit for the entire user experience.
