Let's start with the pilot.
A couple of real articles, fully produced, so you can hear exactly what you'd be getting.
newdigiDigital design, content & growth — Vancouver, Canadanewdigi.ai
An app readers can use, every story available as audio, and a path to a younger audience.
It's built as an installable web app — everything an app does, without the cost or upkeep of a native build.
Add to home screen, opens full-screen with its own icon — no download friction.
We can package and submit it to the Apple & Google stores as an add-on.
An audio edition of each article, playable right on the page.
The same audio flows to Apple Podcasts & Spotify.
A ground-up native app would cost several times more for no real benefit — the web app gives readers the same experience and can still reach the App Store.
A focused, paywalled "read & listen" app of each issue — the subscriber product — sitting alongside your current website. Lower cost, lower risk, no full-site migration.
Replaces your current site entirely, with the digital edition built in. A bigger build — quoted separately if that's the direction.
Our recommendation: Option A. It delivers the digital version of the paper your readers want, without the cost and risk of rebuilding everything — and you can always refresh the main website later. The plan and pricing below are for Option A.
Upload each issue and confirm the flagged names.
Produce and check the audio, run the database, publish, and keep the site running.
Then add growth when you want it:
Option 1 + 3–4 cinematic saga & story reels a month, handed to you to post.
Option 1 + we produce, post, engage, and report end-to-end.
| What you get | When | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| The App — build Digital edition app, audio system, upload page, pronunciation system + database, podcast feed | One-time | $8,750 |
| App Store listing (optional) Package & submit to Apple & Google stores | One-time | $2,000 |
| Option 1 — The App, managed Audio editions + pronunciation review + podcast + site care | Monthly | $1,200 |
| Option 2 — + Reels Option 1 + 3–4 reels a month to post yourself | Monthly | $2,200 |
| Option 3 — + Social Management Option 1 + we run your socials end-to-end | Monthly | $3,500 |
One-time build, then a single monthly option you pick (and can change). The monthly covers ongoing audio production — that's why it's there even at Option 1.
Roughly three months from kickoff to launch — built carefully, not rushed.
We produce a couple of your actual articles end-to-end — full audio, Icelandic reviewed — so the board hears the real output before committing. Small fixed fee, credited toward the build.
Learn your content and readers, then design the experience for your approval.
The app, audio system, podcast feed, upload page, and the pronunciation review + database — built and tested properly.
Subscription connected, a round of revisions, then the digital edition goes live.
Add reels or social management when you're ready.
