Give the article a coherent reading layout.
Plan headings, images, captions, credits and embeds around real stories. Keep text readable, media dimensions reserved and related reading relevant to the article rather than a generic content wall.
Website design for media companies
We design media websites that give stories a strong presentation and make the archive useful. Article templates, contributor profiles and editorial collections help readers find more of the work while your team can publish without rebuilding a layout each time.
- Make stories readable
- Give archives a structure
- Support the editorial workflow
Design the reading experience and the publishing job together.
The lead story, an individual article and the archive each have a different role. Plan how readers move between them and how editors keep those choices current.
Media FoundryWebflow editorial website with CMS articles, project features and creator profiles.
Make taxonomy earn its place.
Agree categories, tags, contributors and series before growing the archive. Each collection should help readers explore a meaningful topic and give editors a clear rule for using it.
Define review and correction ownership.
Create fields for genuine publication dates, updates and attribution. Agree how corrections, expired embeds and retired contributors are handled rather than automatically changing dates to make articles look new.
The systems around the website.
Connect the website to the tools your team already uses, with a clear plan for publishing and enquiries.

Media website questions.
Can Webflow run an editorial archive?
It can suit structured article and contributor publishing, subject to content volume, search, access and workflow requirements. We assess the archive and platform limits before choosing CMS structure or migration scope.
Do you change dates to make content look recent?
No. Original publication dates remain accurate. A genuine revision can show a separate update date. The visible page and structured data should describe the same publishing history.
Can newsletter or membership tools connect?
We assess the selected providers and the actual subscription or access journey. A newsletter form, paid membership and content entitlement are different requirements and need clearly defined ownership.
Can you migrate an existing archive?
We inventory URLs, body content, authors, taxonomy, media and dates, then map and test the destination structure. Publication rights and historical accuracy need an editor’s review alongside technical checks.
Make the next story easy to publish and the older ones easy to find.
Bring a representative article, an archive export and the editorial workflow your team actually uses.
