A Web Template for Independent Publishers!

25/06/2015 / Lab Administrator

Every publisher nowadays needs a website to enable them to publicise their backlist, increase their visibility, make contact with their readers and progress down the path of digital publishing. In a context in which many independent publishers still do not have a website set up, the Alliance’s Digital Lab is introducing AlliancePress, a web template specially designed for publishers.

Following a logic of interoperability and widespread use, the web template was developed based on WordPress (a free and open-source content management system) and is distributed under a GPL licence. The template will be able to be downloaded from the WordPress platform and improved by the community. The AlliancePress template is now available for download here.
