Content Delivery System, Mobile App and Subscriber Site

A) Develop a content delivery system for newsletter 1) a mobile app to deliver content & an optional audio version of the newsletter & 2) the continued delivery of the pdf newsletter B) Develop a subscriber site for master subscribers to designate email addresses to receive access based on the number of seats & for all subscribers to download issues & search the archive (integrate into current WP site). Obj A: email subs a new issue notification & deliver the same content at the same time through a mobile app - for mobile the content needs to be in a mobile format not a pdf format. When we publish an issue, user receives an email notifying them new issue is available, with a link to log into the subscriber site to download a pdf (user’s email address stamped at the bottom). The app will push a notification new issue is available. Example: The Economist’s subscriber app. Articles look but they are mobile friendly – just one column. Ads are accommodated. There is an audio version – voice artists record all the articles. (Want the ability to disable this so that the audio version) Dashboard to upload the pdf & drop in the content for the mobile version, & upload audio files. Newsletter has up to approximately 15 sections in an issue, not all appear each week. Dashboard-tick boxes next to the sections that will appear that week. Tick a box-a field for text would appear. Option to upload up to two graphics for each section-appear in the app alongside text. For audio, an admin would be able to assign sections to voice artists, with login credentials. The system would assemble all the files & alert the admin when the audio version is ready for approval. App functionality-request a free trial or to subscribe; anyone can download the app & would see the first five lines of an item then option to 1) login if a subscriber, 2) subscribe or 3) request a free trial. Same functionality available on the WP site. Newsletter is published on Sunday nights – the content in the PDF & in the mobile app must be launched at the same time. Obj B: A sub with 1 seat would be able to log in & download issues & search archives (need to add old issues without generating new-issue notifications to users.) Subs would see an option to add additional users to their subscription for an additional fee. Subs with multiple seats or unlimited seats can add or delete users at email domain (or multiple email domains, if an admin approves more than one domain). An admin would be able to import all sub info as it currently exists prior to launch. Admin would be able to establish an account for someone who subscribes offline. Fully automated password administration, recovery & autolock shared accounts is required. Logins would be synched between the subscriber site & app – same login for one email address, & every paid sub would have the same level of access (to d/l pdf, search archives & read or listen on the app). Non-subs would be able to request free 4-week trials. Requires admin approval (designate an admin to receive requests & approve). Issues would go out, & app access would be available. At the end, trial subs get a series of messages inviting them to subscribe. E-commerce functionality would enable them to do so with any number of seats or they could request an invoice (emailed manually offline), preferably with current CC processor & merchant services bank. The account admin would be notified of subscriptions or additional seats purchased. Also need customizable/flexible checkout pages. Dashboards: 1) Content admin (to upload pdf, add mobile content, assign sections to voice artists & approve audio) 2) Voice artist (to see assigned text & upload audio files) 3) Account admin (to establish & edit account access – also view user engagement stats, both aggregated & per user) 4) Subscriber (to download issues, search archives & – where applicable – edit sub-users) 5) Sub-user (to download issues & search archives)
