IssueM

Publish real web issues that grow search, social sharing, and look great on mobile.

Modern mobile reading

IssueM works with any mobile responsive theme, making your articles and issues look great on mobile devices. PDFs and flipbooks are difficult to read on small screens. It’s time to reach the modern reader.

Search and social growth

Every article of every issue shows up in Google search, is easy to share socially, and sends you significantly more potential readers. If your content is locked in PDFs or flipbooks, it time to upgrade.

Ready to go issue layout

Choose your current issue & archive pages, add the Active Issue widget, and your issues are ready for prime time. Need to offer flipbooks to your readers? Done. IssueM offers an integrated native flipbook experience.

Built for news and magazine publishers

IssueM is the most flexible issue builder for publishers who use WordPress. It lets your content rank in search and promotes sharing in social media. Use IssueM to build special web content issues for subscribers or to use promotionally.

Digital issues for the modern reader.

IssueM creates regular web articles that the modern reader is already comfortable with. These articles are simply organized by issue.

Our award-winning (Folio Design Awards Winner) IssueM publisher lets you quickly build content issues that are discovered in search, shared in social, and look great on mobile. It’s how we got into publishing (with college magazines).

“We have a person on staff and part of what he does is going through the very old articles. He’s making sure each article from every issue is available individually and responsive on our website and apps. Every time we publish an old or new article, they can be indexed by Google and become searchable.

Upon activation, IssueM creates a new post type in your WordPress site called Articles. You simply create an issue, create your articles and assigned them to the issue. When you are ready you can take the issue live. All your published issues remain available on your past issues page and are organized by their cover images. Check out how LandLine Media puts IssueM to work.
