Talk to AaronWhat comes next for you?
You might need a simple portfolio, somewhere to publish independently, or a site for a new team. You can talk it through before choosing a platform.
Your own publication
Publish under your own name or a new title, and give readers a way to keep following your reporting.
- A website you can publish to yourself
- Newsletter signup and sending setup
- Optional subscriptions or donations
Something with colleagues
Starting a small newsroom or a shared project? Build a practical home for the work you want to do together.
- Individual author accounts and profiles
- Editing and publishing permissions
- Shared email and ongoing technical help
Start with what you need now.
A domain, email address and a few good pages may be enough to begin. A newsletter or paid publication can follow when you are ready.
A clear scope and cost
Tell Aaron what you have in mind and the budget you are working with. Your quote separates the initial work from ongoing costs, including hosting, email, software and payment fees where relevant. Nothing starts until you agree the work and price.
Help after launch
Get a handover so you can update your site and publish your work. Hosting, updates, backups and technical support can be included in an ongoing plan, with the cost and support hours agreed in writing.
Keep control of what you build.
Your domain and key accounts should be in your name, with access to your content and a clear route to move providers later.
Already have a site, newsletter or published work? We can build on what you have. For previous articles, that may mean linking to your bylines or importing material you have permission to republish. Any move of subscriber records or paid subscriptions is checked and scoped separately.
Talk to Aaron about what's next.
A rough idea is enough. Tell me what you want to do, anything you already have, and any budget or timing you have in mind. We can work out a sensible first step together.
I run OpsHelp and work on websites, hosting and technical support for independent publishers.
