Arc Publishing introduces PageBuilder Themes, dramatically accelerating site launch and time-to-market

Arc Publishing today introduces PageBuilder Themes, a turnkey solution designed to enable publishers, broadcasters and brands to build and launch new sites in less than 30 days while ensuring they can take advantage of Arc’s existing customization capabilities and flexible site management system.

“Arc serves a wide range of customers, from upstart digital publishers to the largest brands and media companies in the world. We developed PageBuilder Themes with this diversity of needs in mind, reimagining the templated user experience so that it prioritizes speed, flexibility and customization,” said Matt Monahan, head of product development for Arc Publishing. “With Themes, Arc offers a first-of-its-kind solution that dramatically speeds up the time-to-market, giving customers a quick-to-launch experience they can personalize to fit their business strategy and growth ambitions.”

PageBuilder Themes extends Arc’s existing customization capabilities with its first out-of-the-box offering, equipping organizations large and small with a robust site creation toolkit that includes all the features needed to run a sophisticated website. Sites utilizing Themes, whether simple or complex, can be stood up quickly, and can be managed through Arc’s intuitive and visual site management system, PageBuilder. Customers can seamlessly integrate their own bespoke components, highlighting Themes’ flexibility and customization.

“From rich multimedia experiences to default analytics integrations, search and commerce features to built-in advertising solutions, Themes provides publishers of all shapes and sizes with the building blocks they need to go from zero to launch quickly, and position their digital business for success,” Monahan added.

Themes isn’t just for new websites. PageBuilder Themes streamlines brand identity management, making it possible for business users to easily control their site’s visual appearance. When coupled with Arc’s existing multisite capabilities, Themes allows users from separate business units, franchises or affiliate publications to independently stand up new sites or pages while following brand identity standards or corporate templates set at headquarters. Themes also makes it easy for customers’ development teams to build new user experiences, providing an integrated design system running atop a modern React-based development framework.

PageBuilder Themes will be available to current and future Arc clients by the end of the year.
