How it all works

We can take an existing XML, CSV, Fish4 or other feed that is used to post notices to an existing website, parse it and use it to produce interactive mini-sites. These are hosted on our server. In the majority of cases we end up hosting all the publishers announcements. We currently support 39 different announcement types and have room for many more.

We provide training and support for staff and maintain an email-based help function on the site.

Security

iAnnounce reads and approves every message left on the site, and takes responsibility for this, thereby removing any liability from the papers. Anyone wishing to post a message on the site must first register and confirm their email address with us.

Commercial

We charge a flat fee per announcement. All data and traffic is counted as part of the publisher’s website, and the site is branded throughout with the paper’s logo.
