## What a journalist or independent media website needs

- **Newsletter and website in one** — every article can go out by email, and sign-ups on the site feed your list.
- **Free and paid memberships** through Stripe, with members-only articles. Your revenue goes to you, with no platform commission.
- **Donations and sponsorship** for publications that stay free to read.
- **A real editorial structure** — sections and tag pages that act as entry points, which matters for guides and archives.
- **Your archive moved safely** — URLs, images and SEO preserved when you leave WordPress or Substack.
- **Fast pages** without ad clutter, which readers and search engines reward.

## Built on Ghost, open-source software you own

Every site we build runs on Ghost®, the open-source publishing platform. The editor is as simple as writing an email, the newsletter is built in, pages load fast, and your content and subscriber list can be exported at any time — nothing is locked in. Ghost is the only platform we build on.

## What we have built

- [APAR.TV](https://abstract27.com/wordpress-to-ghost-migration-how-apar-tv-saved-its-media/) — more than 8,000 articles moved from WordPress to Ghost: from a slow, ad-saturated site to a fast, profitable media outlet.
- [DoYouSpeakLondon](https://abstract27.com/website-creation-for-an-independent-online-magazine-doyouspeaklondon-com/) — 173 articles migrated, a six-section editorial structure, a weekly newsletter and sponsored features the publisher sells herself.
- [Media Moolah](https://abstract27.com/mediamoolah-independent-web-media-powered-by-ghost/) — the launch of a publication about media growth and monetisation.
- [Français à Londres](https://abstract27.com/francaisalondres/) — the community media of French speakers in London.

## How it works

1. **Free call.** You tell us about your organisation and what the site must do; we tell you exactly what we would build.
2. **Your site installed within a week.** We set up your website, newsletter and forms — the same day if it is urgent — and you add your texts. With full website creation (£749 once), we build your pages too: written up, your existing content moved across, live in 7 days. If you prefer, we build it first on a beta site of ours: you check that everything works, and only when it suits you do we move it to your official domain, safely.
3. **We run it for you.** Hosting, updates, backups and changes on request are included. You publish when you want, we handle the rest. We adapt to what you need — our [client reviews](https://abstract27.com/reviews/) say so.
