Wieni launched mo.be for MO* Magazine, a leading Flemish quarterly magazine known for its in-depth reporting and critical analysis of global news coverage.
We're excited to announce the launch of the new MO* website, designed and developed by Wieni. At the heart of our new digital presence is Storyblok, a robust headless CMS that offers a range of features tailored for editorial workflows and visual content management. Here’s a closer look at why we chose Storyblok and how it benefits our content team and readers.
Highlights
Modular content: Storyblok allows content to be divided into modular blocks. This means our editors can create and manage individual components—such as text, images, and videos—separately. This modular approach simplifies the dynamic assembly of content, ensuring flexibility and efficiency.
Powerful CMS: Storyblok’s user-friendly interface empowers our editors to create, edit, and publish content without needing extensive technical knowledge. The intuitive design streamlines the content management process, allowing the team to focus on delivering quality stories.
Visual editing: The visual editor in Storyblok is a game-changer for non-technical users. It enables our content editors to make changes directly on the page in a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) format. This not only speeds up the editing process but also ensures that content looks exactly as intended before it goes live.
Version control: With Storyblok’s version control, we can keep track of all changes made to our content. Editors can easily review and revert to previous versions if needed, minimizing errors and maintaining the integrity of our published material.
Workflow management: Storyblok supports comprehensive workflow management, facilitating collaboration among team members. We can assign specific tasks, manage access rights, and streamline the approval process, ensuring a smooth and efficient content creation pipeline.
Multi-channel publication: Our content reaches readers on various platforms thanks to Storyblok's multi-channel publication capabilities. Whether it's on our website, mobile apps, or social media, we can seamlessly distribute our stories to meet our audience wherever they are.
Enhancing User Experience with Firebase, Mailchimp, and Mollie
Beyond the robust CMS, we've integrated several other tools to enhance user experience:
Firebase: This platform powers our registration and login flows, allowing new members to save their favorite articles and dossiers. Over time, they will also receive personalized newsletters tailored to their interests.
Mailchimp: We use Mailchimp to manage our newsletters, ensuring that our communications are well-organized and reach the right audience.
Mollie: For seamless payment processing, we partnered with Mollie, an industry-leading payment provider.
