Publications

A report people can cite in ten years.

A citation is only as good as the address it points to. Every publication gets a permanent address, a complete record, and a reading version that works on a phone.

The rest of the institute, online.

Research is the reason people come. Experts, events, and gifts are why they come back.

  • Publications and PDFs

    Reports, briefs, and testimony on pages people can read, with downloads that work years later.

  • Expert directory

    Scholar pages with bios, topics, and their work, so a reporter on deadline finds the right person.

  • Events

    Panels and book talks with registration, the video afterward, and the event page kept as a record.

  • Donor pages

    Giving forms on your own payment account, with receipts that reach the donor’s inbox.

Launching a publication

Editorial control stays with you.

Start with one upcoming report. We agree what your team supplies and what must be checked before it goes live.

  1. Prepare the publicationYour editor supplies the approved manuscript, authors, charts, and embargo. We agree the page structure and formats. PDF accessibility work is assessed before a date is promised.
  2. Review one complete previewWe prepare the page in staging, with citations, downloads, and related research. Your editor approves the facts and the presentation.
  3. Publish, and keep the addressWe check the live page, downloads, and links. Later revisions keep the same address and record what changed.

Monthly report

A page you can hand to your board.

What was done and how fast, how the site is doing, and what needs a decision. One page, every month.

About LFW

Questions.

What does it cost?

The monthly fee depends on your sites and pages, integrations, languages, and response tier, and is quoted in writing. Rebuilds and new features are one-time fixed prices.

Can you work with our existing library?

Yes. We first look at its content types, addresses, search, and downloads. Routine corrections are part of the monthly work; a migration or a large accessibility project is quoted separately.

Will old report links keep working?

Yes. A revised report keeps its address. A rebuild includes a redirect map for every published address, agreed before launch.

We also run an advocacy organization. Can one team run both sites?

Yes, with separate access, approvals, and records for each. Your counsel defines the boundaries between the organizations.

Do you handle donations and payments?

We set up and maintain the forms. The money goes to your own payment account, never through LFW.

Can we keep our current host?

Yes, if it is a managed host with staging, command-line access, and automated backups. If not, we move you to one in your name. Hosting is billed by the host at its published rates: the cost is recurring, depends on your traffic, and you choose the plan size.
