Your Publishing Goals
As an organization with a mission, you have clear goals for how your information reaches your audience. Whether you provide education, guidance, or support, your publications should help you connect with people and fulfill your mission.
Goal 1: Budget-Friendly Process
Small organizations often work with limited time, budget, and staff. Hiring designers, editors, or agencies for every publication simply isn’t realistic. The publishing process needs to be simple, efficient, and affordable — so your team can focus on creating content instead of managing costs.
Goal 2: Multiple Publications
Many organizations publish a range of guides, reports, or booklets. You want them to share a consistent layout that reflects your identity — while keeping maintenance simple and efficient.
Goal 3: Multiple Authors
Each project may have its own author or editorial team. You need a system that allows every team to work independently without affecting other projects.
Goal 4: Multiple Formats
Your readers should be free to choose their preferred format: a website for quick access, a PDF for storing or printing, or an EPUB for mobile reading. Each format serves a different need, and together they make your content more inclusive.
Goal 5: Flexible Access
Some organizations share everything openly, while others prefer to require registration or member access. Many use a mix of both, depending on audience and content. The important thing is flexibility — you decide who can see what.
