CollegeAD provides news and resources for university athletic administrators. Its WordPress installation supports a network of sites, including a news feed with subscription-based access. Fervid’s role is ongoing technical management of that established platform.
The site is part of the business.
Publishing and membership are closely connected: the team needs to get content out, and subscribers need the right access to it. Technical work has to account for both, along with the custom plugins and publishing workflows already in place.
Look after the whole system.
In a multisite network, individual sites have their own jobs while sharing parts of the underlying installation. A plugin change or an update needs to be considered in that wider context. Our work starts with understanding those relationships and the differences between staging and production.
The engagement is about continuity: keeping technical knowledge available as questions, maintenance needs, and changes arise. The editorial team has a developer to turn to who understands how the platform fits together.
