Using AI to create Next Generation User Experiences - the Roundtable Resources
As we have done for a few years now, we ran a roundtable at this year’s PPA Independent Publisher Conference. As usual it was very well attended and quite buzzy. We thought the AI session was excellent and informative and really appreciated the 90 second pitch we had the opportunity to deliver prior to the AI session.
The round table itself was repeated twice - with some great publishers represented by a very good set of media pros. It was great to meet with you all, and I look forward to ...

Affino 2014 Priorities
2014 is going to be an exciting year for Affino. Q1 will see the Affino 7.5 release, which introduces the new Responsive Page Designs. These have been a long time coming, but the wait will be worth it. To provide the best experience we went right back to the drawing board for how we serve live pages in Affino so that we could produce the very best responsive interfaces.
In fact Responsive Design is the main priority for the first 6 months of 2014 and everyone should look to be rolling ...
Responsive Design in Affino - Update
We are right in the middle of rolling out Responsive Design in Affino and this post outlines many of the key decisions we have made, and why.
When researching approaches to implementing Responsive Design in Affino, we have been looking at existing tools such as Adobe Reflow and Webflow.
They have taken two opposite lines of approach. Adobe Reflow allows you to manipulate everything to the nth degree but makes the process very manual. It displays a grid, but it’s ...
Responsive Design in Affino
We’re getting ready to move Affino to being fully responsive. This will be the major initiative over the coming months now that we have the auto-scaling cloud infrastructure in place.
Big Bang
There will be a switchover from the current way Affino page designs are created to a new responsive approach, like moving from analogue to digital.
We won’t have dual Design Centres in Affino at any point, it’s a one-off transition to the new Responsive Designs when you update to Affino...

We’ve rolled out big updates to many core Affino services including Messaging, Search, Analysis, Customer Ladder and ...
Better Relationships
Affino is named after affinity, and it’s ability to bring together content, products, people, media, events and communications. These are the core elements essential to any online business. We have many great elements in Affino for showcasing and recommending relevant related items, and are now making it much easier to make those connections.
Even though it is possible to make all the relationships work, it has definitely not been as productive as it could be. That all changes in...

Rupert Wilson, Head of Research, Who’s Who Legal
"We worked with Affino for almost two years on a major website build and platform migration. It was an extremely complex project involving many bespoke elements. Affino were thoroughly responsive and communicated well throughout and their team were friendly and willing to help us achieve our ambitious goals. We’re very pleased with the modern and professional look and feel of the new website and users have been similarly impressed. Several of the bespoke elements added to the database platform have enhanced our ability to analyse our data and the platform works smoothly and reliably. Affino’s work has helped us to scale up our operations as well as grow and strengthen our brand."
