For the styling of all the modules in our Newsroom platform we use our default template, which we call the Core Template (CT). This is the foundation that we use to implement the design requirements of our customers.
The CT is the starting point to style the Newsroom. Depending what plan you’ve purchased, we can customize the CT to meet specific branding requirements to seamlessly integrate your Newsroom into your corporate's website.
Benefits of the Core Template:
- Enhanced Visual Appeal: The core template is a modern, clean design for Newsrooms.
- Automatic Feature Upgrades: You will automatically benefit from new features and improvements as we continue to add updates to the CT.
- Future-Ready: Transitioning to the CT sets the stage for clients to gain greater control over their Newsroom settings. This shift paves the way for a more seamless and user-friendly experience as additional management features are integrated into the platform.
- Increased Efficiency & Improved Template Knowledge: Sharing the same core template across Newsrooms ensures smoother updates, and supports quicker branding and rebranding processes.
- Faster Issue Resolution: Fixes can be rolled out across all Newsrooms at once, rather than fixing issues on a case-by-case basis.
Onboarding and Redesign
During the onboarding phase, an Implementation Specialist will discuss all specific branding requirements with you in the discovery call. The CT will be used as the foundation and customized to align with your company's branding guidelines. The level of customization available depends on the plan that you’ve purchased.
If your Newsroom is already live and is in need of a rebrand, we will first check if the CT has been used as the foundation of your Newsroom. If not, we will offer the opportunity to convert the template into CT before making the requested changes.
Updating your Newsroom template to the Core Template
In some cases, if your Newsroom design is not on the CT, we will reach out to inform you that we need to upgrade your template. In case we proactively reach out, we deem it a necessary update, and therefore we will not charge any costs for the change to the cT. Additional requests will be reviewed and might be charged.
Header & Footer
The header & footer of your newsroom are not supported with modules. There are two ways to seamlessly integrate your header & footer into the newsroom, which we explain further in this article.
