Custom Software Development
SAJ Media is a digital publishing brand located in Wilmington, NC, responsible for several publications, including the Greater Wilmington Business Journal, WILMA Magazine, Fayetteville Business Journal, and Good Life Wilmington. To effectively manage their numerous publications, the SAJ Media team sought a unified digital solution to optimize their operations and ensure consistency in processes related to customer subscriptions, ad management, and content publishing. They required a custom application to oversee all their online publications. Using a Laravel framework, AWS hosting, and Amazon S3 for file storage, we developed an integrated dashboard with a wide range of features. Key functionalities important to SAJ Media included ad placement, sponsored content, and the software's display of such ads on their website. Additionally, custom email templates designed to feature tailored ads according to subscription tiers were prioritized. The bespoke web application, named JumpPub, was developed by Wide Open Tech and is fully integrated with Stripe for handling recurring subscription payments. Subscribers can access their accounts to manage their subscriptions, while admin users on the backend can create ad campaigns, determine ad placement within the publication, publish both sponsored and non-sponsored content, and manage users, emails, and business directories.
