Organization Description:

The Post has grown rapidly and currently has more paid subscribers than any other publication in Wilson County. The newspaper is now able to attract regional and national advertisers as well as more local advertisers.  

Development Notes: 

The Wilson Post is the 2nd Main Street Media Online Newspaper designed and launched by BeareWare. The design of the website focused on the home page look - with design focus on the papers brand, the key areas of the papers (news, sports, obits, opinions, and classifieds), and a prominent choice of advertising including Google ads being offered on standard pages. The home page focused on offering three (3) key stories with images to be run with quick story links on the right hand side. The content management system (JOOMLA) that BeareWare designs with was a dream match up for the newspaper - allowing for easy defining of categories and sections. BeareWare used Paypal Shop as the payment gateway for the website with newspaper subscription and the classifieds system.

System Features include:

• Custom Graphic Web Design - Design meeting & custom design layouts.
• Content Management System (Joomla!) - allowing direct client management.
