Publishing platforms for Cicero and Monopol
AI-generated, human-reviewed
Starting point
Res Publica Verlag publishes two high-reach magazine brands, Cicero and Monopol. Both need capable editorial systems, paid content and a shop — with full control over infrastructure and data.
Solution
Two Drupal platforms on a shared technical base: editorial workflows, AMP delivery and AI-assisted image descriptions inside the CMS. Search on Monopol now runs on a self-hosted Typesense — grouped into articles, exhibitions, venues and artist profiles, each content type with its own fields. Plus paywall and subscription management with single sign-on via Keycloak, and a shop for issues and subscriptions — integrated with ERP and fulfilment.
Outcome
Two independent brand sites on one maintainable base. Newsroom, subscription business and shop work on the same platform — operated and evolved in a long-term partnership.
