Visual Storytelling and Digital Publishing Made Easy

The Idea behind Pageflow

Pageflow is an open source software and publishing platform for Visual Storytelling, jointly developed with the West German Broadcasting Corporation „WDR“. The aim was to design a storytelling tool for digital journalists, that empowers anyone to transform video content, images, audio and text into immersive visual stories and digital reports in full screen.

Pageflow meanwhile is increasingly used for corporate publishing and allows online journalists and storytellers to apply a growing number of interactive storytelling elements, such as 360° videos, hotspots, charts and maps in multiple storylines.
