When a great story is combined with high-quality design, its true potential is unlocked. But after years of working in a complex digital publishing environment, we know how hard this can be day after day, story after story. <\/p>\n\n\n\n So, we created the Setka Editor (and its WordPress plugin) to empower editorial teams to unlock the true potential of digital design. It brings the elements we all love about print design into the interactive environment of the screens we use today. It allows for creativity in the hands of editors and designers, helping you create beautiful features every day without much extra effort or cost. It seamlessly integrates into both editorial processes and scaling technical infrastructures to keep everyone and everything moving efficiently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We love WordPress users because you value design, too\u2014that\u2019s why we\u2019ve worked hard to become a WordPress VIP technology partner and making sure Setka Editor is Gutenberg ready (and since we know you value speed, it\u2019s AMP ready, too). We are honored to support WordCamp for Publishers in Chicago this year and be a part of this community. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A huge thanks goes out to our Gold sponsors without whom this event would not be possible!
