LFW

For policy institutes & foundations

Publish the research. Keep it citable.

Your communications team needs a reliable path from approved research to a usable publication. LFW manages the website behind it: report pages, accessible formats, author records, and the links readers return to long after launch. We work with your editors and existing systems.

Who handles what

Editorial control stays with the institute.

For teams with publishing responsibilities and limited web development capacity. Sites on WordPress, Drupal, or a static build.

Your editors
Research accuracy, rights to charts and images, translation approval, and the publication decision.
LFW
The agreed web production, technical checks, publishing record, and routine site maintenance.
Separate scope
Large PDF libraries, new publication taxonomies, donation integrations, and a site rebuild are assessed and quoted before work begins.

From request to delivery

A publication launch with a named next step.

Start with one upcoming report. We identify what your team supplies, what needs production work, and what must be checked before it goes live.

  1. Prepare the publication

    Your editor supplies the approved manuscript, author details, charts, and embargo. We agree the page structure and accessible formats. PDF remediation is assessed before a deadline is promised.

  2. Review one complete preview

    LFW prepares the page in staging, including citations, downloads, and related content. Your designated editor approves facts and presentation; unresolved issues stay visible in the request.

  3. Publish and preserve

    We check the live URL, downloads, internal links, and agreed accessibility criteria. Later revisions keep the publication’s address and record the change. A rebuild includes a separately scoped redirect map.

What the monthly fee covers

Routine tasks of 30 minutes or less, handled one at a time. Standard acknowledgment: one business day. Priority acknowledgment: four business hours. These are response targets; completion depends on the work.

Business hours only, with no after-hours or on-call coverage. Hosting and licenses are paid separately. Redesigns, integrations, custom development, and larger remediation work receive a separate fixed quote.

Before you engage

The questions behind a report launch.

Can you work with our existing library?

Yes. We first inspect its content types, URLs, search, and download paths. A library review distinguishes routine corrections from a migration or larger accessibility project.

What about a related advocacy organization?

We can operate both sites with separately agreed access, publishing approvals, analytics, and records. Your legal team defines the required organizational boundaries.

Relevant experience

Experience inside a large publishing operation.

Before LFW, Leland was a senior web developer at Stand Together, on the in-house team responsible for more than 100 sites running WordPress. His work included custom functionality, bug triage, and requests from internal teams.

These are roles Leland held before founding LFW. The organizations named here are former employers, not LFW client references.
