Flexibility. Control. Empowerment.

Emmis Interactive provides local media with the tools, flexibility, and control they need to create a content-rich interactive experience.

Technically advanced, not overly technical

BaseStation™ was built with a variety of users in mind, so whether you're a page-building rookie or a CSS coding veteran you'll find plenty of reasons to love working with our system. Filling out your site is a snap with our intuitive WYSIWYG page design modules that show you exactly how your page will look as you're building it. Our modular approach to page-building allows for a virtually endless array of layout options and enables you, the site owner, to shuffle content and shape navigation, create new sections for your site, and add new tools whenever the need arises—no work order necessary.

Want to keep it simple? Select content from smart lists and plug it into your page with a single click. Want to flex your programming prowess? Use the rich text editor to write your own code and style content with custom CSS. We provide you with unprecedented control without the middleman or a steep technical learning curve.

The right tools for the job

Our platform includes all the features your community has come to expect from a progressive media site, as well as tools that will increase engagement and create two-way communication between you and your audience. Produce your own podcasts, photo galleries, video channels, blogs and more on the fly, adding content and new tool applications as your site grows. We've removed the core technology hurdles so that you can focus on creating great content and connecting with your audience.

Designed to make an impression

Making a good first impression is imperative, and your site's design is an important part of how your brand is perceived. That's why we offer design services catered specifically to your site's demographic and marketing mission. Our team of designers will work with you to capture the right look and feel, build site skins and page structures based on your feedback, and create a cohesive visual language that you can apply throughout your site.

Content from the community

Creating a connection with your audience and delivering your message isn't where the relationship has to end. BaseStation™ provides ways for visitors to contribute content and have their voices heard, whether they are sharing details on tricked-out cars in Showcases or voting for their favorite local band in Audio Polls. User-contributed content enriches your site and facilitates the community-building power of shared experience and culture centered around your brand. It's organic growth that inspires increasing engagement, and Emmis Interactive has the tools to help you inspire your audience.

Understanding your audience through analytics

Provide great content, effective messaging, and successful promotions by using integrated analytics tools to truly understand your audience. Get at-a-glance views of who's participating, how they're interacting, and learn how to make their experience more specific to their likes and needs. Our analytics and reports help keep pace with your community so that you can focus on the content and messaging they're most interested in and avoid scatter-shot solutions that can easily miss the mark.
