Dailybest Network

A publishing platform powering a network of Italian online magazines, built on the WordPress CMS and designed to support editorial workflows, multiple websites and high content volume.

The project includes Dailybest.it, a cultural magazine covering art, music, design and internet culture, and Dailyfood.it, focused on food and gastronomy. The ecosystem also included a separate WooCommerce-based shop used to distribute products and editorial initiatives related to the magazines.

I worked on the development and long-term maintenance of the platform, implementing custom themes, plugins and integrations to support the editorial teams and their publishing workflows. The system was designed to manage large volumes of content while maintaining flexibility for editors and contributors.

The project involved adapting WordPress to function as a multi-site publishing infrastructure, with reusable components, custom editorial features and responsive front-end templates.
Key aspects of the project include:

• development of custom WordPress themes for editorial websites
• creation of custom plugins to support specific publishing workflows
• integration and customization of WooCommerce for the related shop
• database and performance optimizations for high content volumes
• implementation of responsive templates and front-end components
• long-term platform maintenance across WordPress and PHP updates
• support for editorial teams and evolving publishing requirements
• The Dailybest network represents a long-running editorial platform, combining WordPress flexibility with custom development to support professional digital publishing.

The network in 2025 was sold to a new publisher.
