Author Experience in WordPress — Let’s Fix This

WordPress has achieved its mission to democratize publishing, so any blogger, writer, editor, or content manager has access to a powerful publishing platform on the Web. So, how do you put all of the awesome capabilities of WordPress to best use?

It’s a myth that a CMS is a silver bullet for online publishing. While incredible strides have been made for content management and user experience, the Author Experience has lagged in comparison.

Content managers have even more needs. In addition to managing AX and editorial workflow, we need to work with typography, digital asset management, and even content strategy. Can WordPress do this? Let’s fix this.
