Your Local Magazine or Newspaper Deserves Its Own Platform
Local Press gives your publication a fast, branded website — with built-in newsletter, podcast, sponsor management, and Stripe payments. Your brand. Your domain. Your revenue.
Powering independent local media · Built on Cloudflare · No platform cut, ever
Everything a local publisher needs
One platform. No patchwork of tools. No Substack, Ghost, or Mailchimp pieced together.
Your Brand, Your Domain
Full white-label publishing. Custom domain, your logo, your colors. Readers only ever see your publication — never Local Press.
Newsletter Built In
Grow your subscriber list and send beautiful newsletters directly to inboxes. No Mailchimp, no Substack, no extra monthly fee.
Podcast Section
Dedicated podcast pages with episode management. Embed any feed or host your own. No third-party tools required.
Sponsor Management
Sell placements, track renewals, and manage sponsor relationships from one dashboard. Turn local advertisers into recurring revenue.
Keep 100% of Your Revenue
Stripe payments go directly to your bank account. No platform cut. No percentage taken. Your subscribers pay you, not us.
Cloudflare-Powered Speed
Your site lives on Cloudflare's global edge network. Fast everywhere. No servers to manage, no hosting bills to worry about.

We handle the technical setup. You focus on the journalism.
We set you up

You publish your content
Articles, obituaries, event listings, podcast episodes — all managed from a clean publisher dashboard built for local media workflows.
You grow your revenue
Build your subscriber list, sell sponsorships, and collect payments directly. We handle the infrastructure. You run the publication.
