With Atavist, adding multimedia to projects is easy and intuitive. Tell the whole story with blocks of video, sound, slideshows, charts, and Instagram and Twitter embeds. It's as simple as drag and drop. Blocks work in projects as well as on website pages: animate the page with a Giphy, include a map block to show where your business is, or feature the latest episode of your podcast with a SoundCloud embed.
Because it's not just what you say — it's how you say it. Mix and match a variety of title designs and themes to find the perfect look for your stories. We also provide the flexibility to beautifully arrange projects on your website, using our story blocks. Accomplish all of this — without writing a line of code. Or, upgrade to use developer tools to customize your way.
Reach your audience whether they’re reading in a browser, on their mobile phones, or in an ebook. We give you options for how to share work: you can make stories available on your Atavist website, mask your URL with a custom domain name, and publish to Facebook Instant Articles. And if you want to monetize your content, sell story-by-story, by subscription, or put articles behind a flexible paywall.
