Easy to read
Easy to read
eMagazines are quick to download just like a website and are delivered via an email link . They can be read on any web browser at home or the office and can also be viewed on PDAs and mobile phones.
Readers can easily navigate their way around the different sections and can email comments, take part in online polls and surveys at the touch of a button. They can also comment on or rate individual articles.
Articles, sections or the entire edition can be printed off using our easy print facility if a paper version is required.
Our eMagazines are accessible so all readers can use it without difficulty. This includes a text size option and a clear layout. The product has also been tested by a user group who unanimously gave it the thumbs up.
Easy to edit
Easy to edit
Our product was created specifically to enable non-technical people to create their own online newsletters quickly and easily without IT assistance. The product incorporates a state of the art content management system which can be used on any computer with an online connection.
Images and video can be uploaded at the touch of a button and articles can be cut and pasted from Word documents. The system is password protected so several people can work on the same edition if required.
A preview facility is included to allow the latest edition to be proofed or shown to colleagues "live" before publishing.
We also include statistics to monitor how many people read the eMagazine and which sections they went to.
All of our customers are fully trained to use the system which is so easy it's normally done over the phone plus we offer unlimited support at no extra cost, although it's unlikely to be needed.

Our customers say
Some customer comments...
"The launch of our staff magazine - citylife - was an important step for us as it was the first online communications channel for staff outside of our intranet. TaylorFitch were fantastic to work with because of their previous experience working with local authorities and because they were able to turn things around so quickly.
"Our staff magazine has been up and running for over a year now and the ongoing support and help the company offers means that continues to be a great success, so much so that we are expanding the number of magazines we have to include more local ones for specific directorates."
Taylorfitch are a delight to work with. Nothing is too much trouble and they spend time making sure that you are completely happy. I find it really easy to put the e-magazine together and if I ever have a problem, I know that there is someone on the end of the phone who will be able to sort it out.
We’ve just had our e-magazine upgraded and are getting very positive feedback. I recommend Taylorfitch wholeheartedly.
"We are delighted - It is a very useful, reader friendly way of providing information that is simple, efficient and instantly available.
We now have something we are proud of which was specifically tailored to suit our needs."
"I would thoroughly recommend TaylorFitch. They are great to work with and have delivered us a very strong product."
"We're delighted with the eMags!"
"Taylorfitch's eMagazine is a high impact communications tool, good value, versatile, professional looking and effective.
The support is always easily available, friendly and helpful"
"Our staff e-newsletter has gone down a storm!"
"I'm chuffed to bits, think it looks fab!"
"Just wanted to thank you for all your help and support in getting the first edition of Buckinghamshire Together out. Marlene has been fantastic in helping us to work this up, and coping with all our many and varied queries. We're delighted with the software and the professional looking end product. Miles better than we could do before! "
"My experience of Taylorfitch had been excellent.
This was our first e-newsletter and we have enjoyed the process. We are really pleased with the clean fresh look of our new internal staff newsletter. The process was very simple and Jo and Marlene guided us through every step of the way and were always willing to help. So far we have received great comments and we are looking forward to producing future issues."
"We are absolutely delighted with our eMagazine.
It's very impressive and we've received lots of positive feedback from our staff about it. Both Jo and Marlene at Taylorfitch have been brilliant with their support and advice to get us started - not that you need much with this easy to use product."
"We love our eMagazine!"
"Thanks for all your help, We are thrilled with the results."
"Jo and Marlene have been a pleasure to work with. 
The service was professional, friendly and flexible to meet our needs. The product itself is simple to use and looks excellent. We are very happy with our new e-magazine."
"We launched our first eNewsletter, Inlook, to our staff in September 2008, and we've had a great response, with lots of positive feedback from our staff. Inlook will make our job of getting key news and messages out to staff much easier.
Our old newsletter was a very dry word document, without any pictures or interactivity, so the new eNewsletter has made a big impression. Our statistics tell us that everyone has opened the first issue, according to our first poll, 76% of our staff love the new eNewsletter, and we've received lots of positive comments.
"Taylorfitch's support in setting up our staff eNewsletter has also been first rate. They worked closely with us to get the design just right, and they have been quick to support us with any technical issues or questions we've had in the build up to our launch and afterwards. We are now looking forward to launching our first residents' eNewsletter soon."
"I would like to say a big thank you to you for your help, support and advice in setting the first e-communication from NHS Kidney Care live.
It has been a joy to work with you on making this exciting project become a reality. I am completely addicted to editing the site now and am delighted that this monthly activity will now be a pleasure rather than a chore."
"Jo and the team at Taylorfitch have been a pleasure to deal with from day one.
In just three weeks we went from a vague idea about a new staff e-magazine to the finished product and it couldn't have been easier. Team Talk now has a new lease of life and is fit for the 21st Century - and, judging by all the positive feedback, PCT staff love it. And best of all it's simple to put together every month, even for a technophobe like me!"
"The ezine produced by Taylorfitch has revolutionised communication with our members.
The ezine offers a professional medium which allows us to consult and communicate regularly - literally at the touch of a button!
Taylorfitch provide an excellent service in guiding you through the launch of the ezine and ongoing support should you need it. However, I was told it was straight forward and it was!"
"We were very impressed with the product, service and value for money.
Right from the beginning Taylorfitch's approach was friendly and we were not pressured into committing to anything. The product itself looks great and works well. This was matched by their service, both during and after the project."
"Our internal newsletter to 2,200 staff has now gone electronic. Not only does this save us design and print money but the templates are easy to use and the end result is eye-catching and very interactive. Taylorfitch have been great to work with and have been happy to ensure that the end result more than meets the accepted accessiblity standards. We can now produce an e-magazine every month instead of the quarterly printed one, making it more up to date and less to wade through. It also encourages our staff to feel more at home with electronic communications."
"Jo was a pleasure to work with and her team translated our vision into a high-quality newsletter that is easy to use for both reader and editor.
Our partners have been unanimous in their praise and we feel confident that this product will improve our communications with a wide range of organisations."
"The team at Taylorfitch is a pleasure to work with.
Nothing is too much trouble for them and their attention to detail on my project has been exceptional. I have been delighted to receive such great service."
"Using the eMag format for our Local Area Agreement is the best way of communicating with our growing database of readers. It's easily forwarded on and our initial 'mail shot' of 250 grew to a readership of 3,000 in days. It's easy to use, send and update and quickly proved to be an efficient and modern way of communicating with very large numbers of people."
"Just to say thanks for all your help with our lovely new eMagazine. We've had lots of positive feedback. I can't wait to do the next issue!"
"I am very happy both with the quality of the e-magazine and the support I have received from the team at Taylorfitch.
The back-end system is intuitive and simple to use, even for a non-technical person like me. I have had a lot of positive feedback from both staff and councillors saying that the publication looks very professional and is easy to navigate."
"Taylorfitch have successfully helped us to break into exciting new territory with the launch of our first electronic magazine. 
They make technology easy and offer friendly support at every step of the way."
"Setting up our e-magazine through Taylorfitch has been a brilliant experience.
They've made everything really easy and are always very helpful and quick to respond. And we love the design of our magazine!"
"While we have always circulated our newsletter electronically, the design produced by Taylorfitch puts it into another league. It is now a professional looking magazine which is easy to navigate, fully interactive and attractive to look at. Working with the staff at Taylorfitch has been a pleasure. The training session was informative and the hand-out excellent. Even though the system is extremely easy to use, it is nice to know there are friendly people at the end of a 'phone if you need a bit of advice"
"The e-magazine is a quick and easy way for staff to access our publication online. We loved the eye catching modern design developed by Taylorfitch."
"We are delighted with our online e-magazine.
It looks professional and is easy to navigate. The back end system is very user friendly which enables us to publish new editions quickly." "The Northamptonshire Local Area Agreement involves a partnership of several different public sector organisations (local authorities, police, health, etc.) Since September, Re:LAA has been one of its key channels of communication and has been consistently well-used, acheiving around 3,000 hits in 2 consecutive months. The excellent training and subsequent customer service from Marlene and Jo at TaylorFitch has helped make publication each month relatively painless - and they never seem to mind when we ring to ask for help."
"Taylorfitch are a pleasure to work with - their informal, flexible approach was a real help & they delivered an excellent product for us"
We had over 1700 hits on the eMagazine's front page last month. Considering we only have 1600 staff, this is really good.
Also. in our recent staff survey 67% said they get their information from the eMagazine, which is more than any other sources, including the website and intranet.
"Communicating with staff, in a way that is fun for them, is the key to keeping an organisation together.
Developing new ways of doing that is not easy. Working with the team at Taylorfitch has been a joy. Nothing was too small for them to be concerned about or too big for them to tackle. They really did listen to what we wanted and gave us some great ideas to work with. The launch of our new e-magazine is a real milestone for us and cause for celebration"
"The e-magazine for Millennium Communities has been really simple to produce ourselves with a straightforward, easy to use format and is a great tool to keep all our partners informed and involved in the programme."
