Bogotá, Colombia - Aplyca Tecnología, Latin America’s leading provider of web publishing technologies for media, has completed installation of a pioneering “freemium” solution as part of its software upgrade for the redesigned Tico Times’ website.
The application, an eZ Publish solution crafted by Aplyca, allows the English-language weekly to provide selected content for free, while charging affordable rates for premium articles and products.
“As publishers seek new revenue sources, our Aplyca solutions are positioned to provide a very good editorial system that allows you to manage content and monetize user engagement. It’s a complete cycle from content development to publishing and profit, ” Aplyca founder Felipe Jaramillo Fonnegra said.
The Times is Central America’s leading English language newspaper, and its website attracts more than 200,000 monthly visits. For the “freemium” system, Aplyca created a subscription and paid content extension that permits readers to purchase credits using a credit card and spend the credits to access premium content. The new site also features an easy-to-use classified section based on the light version of the eZ publish classified solution developed by Aplyca.
