Why CrystalType

Technology You Can Trust

CrystalType was built with Drupal, a popular and widely-supported, open-source web content management system. We chose Drupal because it is consistently rated as one of the easiest to use, most supported and most scalable content management systems available. And, Drupal is the choice of many high-end publishers such as Popular Science, The Economist, Fast Company and The Onion.

Designed for News Providers

We worked closely with mainstream publishers and college newsrooms across the country to develop the features they needed. In fact we are always making improvements and integrating new enhancements as we receive demand from our clients.

Customized for Your Newsroom

Our standard package provides everything you need for a high-traffic, socially-driven online newspaper. However, CrystalType can also be customized to meet your unique needs with with add-on services:

Content Migration – If you are upgrading from an existing system we can provide several options for migrating your content.

Hosting – The standard CrystalType package is a hosted system, but we can work with you if you prefer an onsite installation, with or without service and support.

Training – While the system is designed to be extremely intuitive to use, we can also provide customized user guides as well as onsite or remote training as needed.

Feature Development – CrystalType’s modular platform allows endless possibilities for developing new features.

Design – Our growing library of themes includes simple color, font, and masthead configuration, however, we can also provide custom design for a completely unique look & feel.
