(02) What is Arc XP
A powerful media platform. And demanding.
Arc XP is the CMS and digital experience platform created by The Washington Post, used by major media outlets worldwide. It is very powerful, but it demands a team that knows its architecture: PageBuilder, the content model, its APIs and its integrations. That is where we come in.
Support and maintenance for implementations already running.

(07) Frequently asked questions
Common questions about Arc XP.
What is Fusion in Arc XP?
It is the React framework on which the features, blocks, content sources and output types that PageBuilder shows the editor are built.
Can you take over an Arc XP front end another team left behind?
Yes. We audit the code, measure performance, tidy what is needed and keep evolving it with your newsroom.
Do you support an Arc XP implementation we already have?
Yes, it is one of our strengths. We plug into your current Arc XP, understand how it is built and take over support, incidents and improvements, with or without documentation.
We have no Arc XP developers. Can you be our team?
Exactly. We work as your Arc XP technical team: you set the priorities and we execute, as an extension of your outlet.
Can you implement Arc XP from scratch?
Yes, or finish a half-done implementation. We guide you through the content model, PageBuilder, the APIs and the integrations you need.
Do you do integrations and migrations with Arc XP?
Yes. We connect Arc XP with subscriptions, advertising, analytics and third parties, and handle content migrations to or from the platform.
What experience do you have with Arc XP?
The people on our team previously worked as developers in the digital area of a national newspaper in Ecuador, on Arc XP: PageBuilder, integrations with Piano, Cxense, Google Ad Manager and DataFactory. That experience is personal and predates Codegea. We are not an official Arc XP partner: we work with your license.
Do you work with media outside Ecuador?
Yes. We work remotely with media in Latin America (Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Argentina, Chile…) the United States and Canada; Arc XP support does not depend on where you are.
