Introduction

The background to Standfirst Cloud.

Welcome aboard! Our publishing tools and infrastructure power many of the UK's most successful digital magazines.

Your site is based on the Standfirst Cloud Publishing Platform. This is an extended version of WordPress with features and functionality especially suited to publishers. We do not modify the core WordPress functionality.

Your Standfirst Cloud site has a pre-defined set of tools and functionality, offered by ICIT as Software as a Service (SaaS). It also has extra features and custom work that extend the solution further, if necessary, through custom development. This is subject to your pricing tier. 

All tiers are normally hosted on servers under the control of ICIT. The Enterprise tier provides the option of being installed on servers controlled by the customer, but certain features and functionality may be subject to additional custom development.
