We have an article-based 40ish page publication that gets published physically every other month or so. We're interested in this publication having a web edition released concurrently, but with a streamlined-workflow.
The current workflow is that the articles get written and handed to the designer along with the photos that pertain to the article. The designer then designs the pages of the articles. The pages follow a grid structure but deviate in layout quite a bit. Think Wired magazine. The designer then also designs any pages outside of article content: Covers, Table of Contents, etc. A PDF gets output for approval, and the source files get sent to a printing company who prints and binds the publication.
We've looked into technology like FlippingBook, which makes it easy to turn a PDF into an interactive web thing, but we've found they can be frustrating for users, and don't work great on a phone or tablet, which is pretty important.
Ideally, something like Muse would work, but there doesn't seem to be a way to get the article content out of InDesign and into Muse without copy/pasting and recreating the whole document.
At this point, I'm open to suggestions.
