About the Project

Project overview

Semanario Universidad needed a digital product, not just a news archive. Readers had to subscribe, pay online, access previous editions, and move through special editorial projects without friction.

Semanario Universidad needed a website and digital experience that made the work easier to understand and easier to use. The publication needed more than a news site. It needed subscriptions, recurring payments, access to previous editions, and a better way to package special reports.

Website and user experience

The live website, semanariouniversidad.com, is where the work becomes useful to real visitors. We organized the experience around the main actions people need to take once they arrive.

  • Subscription flows for paid readers and recurring support
  • Online payment paths connected to the publication's revenue model
  • Archive access for previous editions and reference material
  • Newsletter capture and interactive editorial pieces inside the same platform

Technology and integrations

The implementation combined design, content structure, and the technologies the project actually depended on.

  • Digital subscription design and development
  • Online payment integration
  • Archive and edition management
  • Custom modules for interactive editorial projects

What we built

On the delivery side, this work covered both the public website and the product details behind it. We built the full platform and the supporting subscription flow, including payment handling, reader benefits, archived editions, and interactive storytelling modules.
