Titles, licenses and course materials on one frontend layer

Q: Do we have to move our title data?

No. The PIM or the ERP stays the leading source. Laioutr pulls the data through an app and renders title and series pages from it.

Q: How are campus and school licenses handled?

The check stays with your license system. The frontend asks for the entitlement and shows either the full text or the abstract with a purchase option.

Q: What about accessibility?

The component library brings semantic structure, contrast and keyboard operation with it. Because every page is built from the same blocks, that holds for the whole site and not just for individual pages.

Q: Can editorial and marketing build pages themselves?

Yes. Series pages, subject pages and campaign pages are built in the visual editor. Engineering is only needed when a new block is required.

Q: How long does the switch take?

Only the frontend is rebuilt, while the PIM, the license system and the shop stay. Across the migrations so far the median is under 14 days, and a wide range of content types pushes that up.

Academic and educational publishers keep title data in one system, content in a second and entitlements in a third. Laioutr sits on top as the frontend and turns them into title pages, series pages and course packages. Your program and marketing teams work in the visual editor.

Title data lives in several systems
ISBN, series, edition and price sit in the PIM, blurb and sample chapter in the content system, availability in the ERP. The title page needs all of it at once.
A journal, a course and an article are different pages
A course with supporting material behaves nothing like a journal volume, and neither behaves like a single article. Building a separate template for every form is not sustainable.
Campus and school licenses bypass the paywall
A user on the campus network should see the full text, a visitor the abstract. That distinction has to land cleanly in the frontend.
Accessibility is a requirement, not an extra
Educational content is used in schools and universities and has to be accessible. Without a binding component library that gets renegotiated on every page.

Program

Title and series pages built from your metadata

Title data, blurbs and sample chapters come from the systems where they are maintained. The frontend assembles them into title, series and author pages.

Metadata from the PIM, copy from the content system, availability from the ERP. Everything stays maintained where it lives and gets rendered in one place.

A course gets a package with volumes, supporting material and sample chapters instead of a flat product list.

The component library brings structure, contrast and keyboard operation with it. Every new page inherits that instead of reinventing it.

Access

Paywall, campus license and shop on one logic

Whether someone sees the full text stays a decision for your license and subscription system. The frontend renders the matching view and the matching route to purchase.

Abstract, preview and full text are blocks on the same page. Which one applies depends on the entitlement, not on a second template.

Users from licensed institutions land straight in the content. Individual users see a digital subscription, a single purchase or a chapter purchase, as you set it up.

Journal subscriptions, library licenses and digital subscriptions run on your shop system but in your brand's layout.

Visibility

Findable content and campaign pages without a ticket

Academic and school content gets searched for, not browsed. Search, topic pages and fast delivery decide whether it is found.

Search reaches across journal volumes, articles and book titles. The AI products for discovery and recommendations come along when you want them.

Subject and curriculum pages bundle titles, materials and articles around one theme and lead teachers and students into the catalog.

Start of term, book fair, new edition: the landing page comes from blocks that already exist, with no engineering slot.
