Paywall

Catholic Herald publishes news for a worldwide audience on both sides of the Atlantic. As part of their focus of increasing subscription revenue, we integrated Standfirst Paywall — our metered paywall and datawall solution. Our software enables the client to set custom rules for metered access. Readers will have the choice to carry on reading by clicking on a paid subscription. This monetises valuable content for the publisher.

Web Design

A strong design vision was developed with the client in keeping with the printed version of the magazine. The solution was led with strong typography and considered whitespace with an emphasis on key calls to action. Our combined aim was to ensure users weren't distracted from the central reading experience.
