Stacked Marketer Case Study

Stacked Marketer case study showing publishing website workflow improvements

Our work with Stacked Marketer shows what happens when a growing media company gets the right technical partner. Over the past year, what started as help with a few urgent issues turned into an ongoing partnership focused on security, editorial speed, and site performance.

Stopping Bot Attacks and Fake Sign-Ups

One of the first problems we tackled was a wave of bot attacks and fake sign-ups. To fix it, our team adapted a custom Refact anti-bot tool to fit Stacked Marketer’s setup. The result was better protection for real subscribers, cleaner data, and less noise for the team to manage.

Improving Editorial Workflows

Like many publishing teams, Stacked Marketer needed a better way to move content between editorial tools, its site, and its email platform. We built a more reliable publishing flow that reduced manual work and lowered the risk of errors.

That kind of operational cleanup matters for any team investing in web development for publishers, especially when content moves fast and deadlines are tight.

Designing for Better Engagement

We also redesigned the homepage to make the experience clearer and easier to use. The updated layout helps visitors find key content faster and supports stronger conversion paths across the site.

What Comes Next

Our work now extends beyond technical fixes. We are helping redesign the full website, sharpen the brand, and refresh the premium membership experience for Stacked Marketer Pro. This work builds on our broader experience in WordPress development for content-heavy websites that need to scale without adding friction for editors.

A full case study is coming soon with more detail on the strategy, decisions, and results behind this partnership.

If you are building a publishing platform or need a stronger digital foundation for a growing media brand, talk with Refact.

Most online magazine platform decisions go wrong for the same reason: teams shop for features before they define the business. A subscription magazine, a design-led brand publication, and a research archive share the label but almost nothing else.
