Questions
Is it a newsletter or a magazine?
Both. It does a newsletter's job, sharing news with families, staff and supporters every week or month. It reads like a magazine, with photos, drawings and voices, and every story can be read aloud.
Do people need an account or an app?
No. They open your link or scan your QR code on any phone or tablet and send their story. Only you sign in.
How do families get it?
Send the link by email or WhatsApp, or print copies. There's no app to install, and every story has a Listen button.
Who can see it?
Nothing is shown to anyone until you approve and publish it. A published magazine is a public web page: anyone with the link can read it.
What about photo consent?
You see every photo before it's published, so you can check it against your consent forms first.
Is it accessible?
Every story can be read aloud, and readers can make the text bigger or switch to high contrast.
Can someone help me set it up?
Yes. Email info@innovativework.space and we'll help you set up your first magazine.
