The Code Company founder Ben May talks at an industrial gathering (c) thecode.co

The Code Company, a company that is a specialist in publishing digitally. The Code Company is among's the top partners. They're WordPress specialists and capable of handling large-scale design, such as Integrations and migrations. They've created a number of stacks of technology to assist thousands of authors.

The company recently re-platformed Substack huge The Dispatch, a publication that offers news and comment on politics, policy and culture that is worth $1.9 million, and has thousands of subscribers. I talked to Stacey Astley Clark from the Communications and partnerships team about their offerings as well as the platform:

"Our Director Ben May has been using technology to address issues since grade 10" begins Stacey. "He created the first website for a local company at the age of 12 and made 400 dollars." Ben saw an opportunity to grow the scope of his business, and even make an income from this, and that's why he launched his agency when he was 22.

The Code Company didn't deliberately get into publishing, however it did manage to attract certain publishing clients in the beginning. Stacey says: "We've carved out a specific area of expertise in the field of technology to enable digital publishers to help with transfer from other platforms to WordPress and also in establishing ads as well as features that allow members to join. Our first goal was to stay platform neutral However, we discovered that many platforms didn't work! We now work solely on WordPress and there have been various emergency actions using various platforms."

"The essential engineering element which is utilized to build websites is our sole responsibility," Stacey continues. We aid publishers with complicated problems by using WordPress and find ways using technologies to "increase the profits of their businesses, gain more efficiency for their businesses and reduce the risks of businesses that involve technological innovation".

Stacey and I are both convinced that technology is evolving into a more fluid this is vital for publishing. "Sometimes editors and marketers and writers who are working with technology and need to be able to utilize it and not be able to reach engineers each 5 minutes.These writers are "wordspeople" who aren't technical people."

Code Company helps people create or move to tech platforms that allow them to become completely autonomous. Code Company helps these people develop or transition to technology platforms that allow them to be completely autonomous "They need a platform in order for what they have done prior to, but with a more efficient way. Code Company helps these people create or migrate to technological platforms. Code Company often works with publishing companies who have websites in technological debt. A lot of times, a plugin doesn't provide all the features that they require. Therefore, we believe it's better to design an integration that is customized and ensures that customers get the features they need without the need to compromise features they do not."

Clients

The Code Company works with content enterprises of every kind, from small-scale publishing firms to huge entertainment companies. The company just announced the widely-covered announcement of Wondermind the health-related mental content hub backed by a celebrity Selena Gomez and Newsette CEO Daniella Pierson. After the announcement, Bhavik Trivedi, who is the chief operating officer at Wondermind stated: "I've never had a flawless launch. Until now. The release was in the middle of the day. Throughout the day it slowly became more popular and all of our integrations were flawless."

They also have a partnership with Nine the largest entertainment company in Australia. "We developed their corporate website along with their publications drive.com.au which is the nation's most popular auto site, in addition to Future Women, a online site for professional women to join." Code Company also launched a local-specific advertising website. Code Company also launched eBay's local-specific advertising website. "That was a huge problem because they had never received regional leads before that and then began to receive Australian leads because of their website," Stacey confirms. "We just launched our newly launched website Science Alert, which is an extremely influential journal in the US. It is owned by Australia however, the bulk of its readers come from the US. The project was one we worked on for more than a whole year, and a half!" She reflects.

In reality, the best fit for the firm is working with smaller , established publishing houses who want to expand. "We are asked, "How can you prove that you're qualified to write? How do we get your company and the tools that you employ to be able to show you can expand your business in the future How do we prove that you're a skilled writer?" Stacey tells us. The Cod Co is where most of the clients of The Cod Co lie; These could be independent media outlets like news portals Crikey and Her Campus, Students' Media, a women-led organization that is based in The US (that The Code Company moved to Drupal prior to moving into WordPress).

"We assist creative and innovative creators who feel overwhelmed or frustrated by the platform they're using and also CMS (content platform for managing content)," Stacey adds. "They're looking for alternative options as they realise that the platform they're using is limiting what they're able to accomplish. The platform isn't flexible enough and is the main source of revenue." Additionally, it's getting more challenging creating a creator with details from the original party. "They're simply unable to access information through platforms such as Substack. We're currently developing custom stacks for creators to ensure that they are able to control their own market," she says.

Solutions and Services

The clients from The Code Company may be individuals who created their own website or engaged an outside firm to build the website for them. They're using a variety of plugins. "As the number of visitors to their website has increased increasing, it's becoming clear that their systems have failed and they're unable to fix the problem for themselves. It's causing problems, complaints from users and the realization that they're not in a position to do the things they'd like to do. There are times when they're unable to do something which are as easy as adding something new to your menu." The woman confirms.

Mike McPhate at the California Sun writes: "The biggest problem with my membership site in the past was the fact that it was inundated by bugs , as well as incoherent instructions on how to use the website. I received emails every day from members who were angry. The website was designed by The Code Company and , I'm no longer receiving the kind of email from individuals that are unhappy, which is wonderful!"

The web's performance is crucial for webmasters "If they fail to attain their targets and goals, it can result in the expenditure of hundreds of thousand of dollars" Stacey continues. "And they continue to hack from one plug-in before installing on another. The website is losing efficacy until the company can't succeed and fails. Then the site will have this huge technology platform that is making noises, and they're conscious that they're in danger losing its effectiveness due to inefficiency."

The publishers are currently looking into strategies to diversify their sources of revenue and, as such, more are looking at memberships and subscriptions. "We need to find a solution which is safe and secure. The main focus of our work is to analyze strategies to improve the lives of writers" Stacey states. Code Company Code Company works exclusively with membership services, in order to eliminate this issue, which Stacey refers to as "leaky wall of payment". The founder of Code Company explains that: "We've worked with other membership solutions in the past and found it extremely easy to circumvent the payment barriers. If your business model is built around publishing, you're relying on selling the content to consumers and this could be an problem."

The calendar is full of new developments as well as projects that are in the pipeline

"The economics of creation are booming," Stacey notes. "Creators are recognizing that SaaS platforms do have limitations and are now looking at other options. Diversification isn't going from the publishing world. It is important that they constantly look at ways to become more engaging and connect with audiences by providing better targeted and relevant details. The subscription offerings aren't just about income, they can enable publishers to become more connected to the audience they cater to and boost engagement."

"There exist magazines printed in print that remain digital but we're continuing to receive interest from people who realize that to be viable, they necessity of moving into digital, in some manner or subscribe-based models could be a part of it."

In the context of the current events "Ben is an extremely well-known name in the world of conferences," adds Stacey. Recently, Ben was a speaker at his debut Mumbrella Publisher Conference in Australia as well as WordCamp USA in San Diego. The talks covered the concept of the creator economy , focusing on 'the minimalist publisher' as well as the ways that publishers can make greater results with less effort. The presentations also considered those experiences of the founders of bigger publishing companies have had, which often use membership-based services.

The person who started the business of the company has a deep understanding of the business. "Ben's been doing this throughout his career, and there's no problem which he's incapable of solving," says Stacey. "The information I receive from my customers is that when they have issues, they might have to engage with another business for two weeks in order to carry out an inquiry. The team at Code Company's tech can solve the issue in just twenty minutes over phone since they've dealt with every challenge. It's great for companies who can benefit from this type of technique for problem solving."

Then, at the end of the day, Stacey says: "Publishing or managing a site doesn't take as much effort like many believe it is. It's all about simplicity." We agree it's easy to be entangled in the latest technologies, themes or plugins - "these flashing lights won't change the needle in any manner," she smiles.

Code Company Code Company revels in "smart simplicity" It's a good thing. Stacey states: "We offer the chance to collaborate with a tech business that is able to help your business to get the results that you want for your company in an easy method that can be effective without the use of any word or phrase."
