Publishing and Media Web Development

Large content libraries move slowly when every change means editing one page at a time. 84EM builds bulk content tools, page templates editors build themselves, and high-performance publishing systems for newsrooms and content platforms.

Bulk changes, one operation

Search visibility and category changes applied across hundreds of pages at once.

No developer queue for new pages

Modular templates editorial teams populate through the WordPress admin, independent of a developer's schedule.

Direct to the engineer

You work with one senior engineer for the whole build, with no middle layer relaying messages.

Built for scale and speed

Thousands of listings served with sub-second load times, regardless of traffic.

Where the bottleneck sits

A bulk change can mean days of editing pages one by one before it takes effect. A new page type can mean waiting on whichever developer has time open. Neither has much to do with the actual story or listing.

84EM built a tool that lets a publisher push visibility and category changes across a content library in one pass instead of page by page, gave the same publisher’s editors an event-page template they run themselves, and built a headless directory architecture that keeps thousands of location listings loading in under a second.

What the fix usually looks like

The fix is usually something the team runs on its own: pages assembled in the WordPress admin, a bulk operation triggered from a spreadsheet upload, or an architecture that holds up under regular traffic without a one-off request each time.

What 84EM Builds for Publishers and Content Platforms

Bulk content operations

A spreadsheet of pages and changes, uploaded once and processed in the background with a live progress display, instead of opening each page individually.

Editor-controlled page templates

Section navigation generated automatically from whatever content is populated, with story cards pulled in for related coverage.

High-performance, self-service directories

A directory that stays fast as it grows, built headless with passwordless listing management so store owners update their own entries.

Compliance-ready editorial approval

A multi-stage review path that routes fund pages, investor communications, and media to the approver for that content area, and holds edits to already-published pages until sign-off.

Proof of Work

Compliance-Ready Editorial Approval for a Regulated Investment Firm

Financial Services Publishing & Media

A regulated investment firm needed every fund page, filing, and investor communication reviewed by the right person before it reached the public site. A structured, multi-stage approval process routes content to the reviewer who understands it, and protects already-published pages from unreviewed changes.
