Layout & Design
Layout is where content becomes communication. At FDS, our experienced design team works with your content every day — structuring it, styling it, and preparing it for print and digital output to the highest professional standards.
Whether you’re producing a weekly trade magazine, a monthly member journal, or a product catalog, we bring the same level of care and precision to every single page. We work with industry-leading tools including Adobe InDesign and InCopy, ensuring full compatibility with your existing workflows and print partners.
Digital Publishing
The publishing landscape has fundamentally changed. Readers expect content on their terms — in print, on their phones, on their tablets, and across social media.
FDS helps you meet that expectation without doubling your workload. Our digital publishing workflow is built around efficiency: produce your content once and distribute it everywhere. From web-ready PDFs and interactive digital editions to app publishing and social media assets, we give your publication the digital presence it deserves — without the complexity.
Editorial Assistance
Even the best writers miss things. A misplaced comma, an inconsistent heading style, a repeated word — small errors that slip through can damage the credibility of an otherwise excellent publication. Our editorial team provides thorough, professional proofreading and copy-editing services tailored to your publication’s style and standards.
We work across German and multilingual content, ensuring consistency, accuracy, and readability throughout. Whether you need a light proofread or a full editorial review, we adapt our process to fit your timeline and quality requirements.
Full Service / Workflow Solutions
Managing a publication involves a lot of moving parts. Tight deadlines, multiple contributors, format requirements, print specifications, digital channels — the list goes on. Our Full Service offering is designed for clients who want a single, trusted partner to handle it all. We integrate seamlessly into your existing processes or build a new workflow from the ground up, eliminating duplication and bottlenecks at every stage.
From editorial coordination and layout through to print-ready files and digital publishing, FDS becomes your dedicated production department — without the overhead of building one in-house.
Ad Management
Advertising is a critical revenue stream for most publications, but managing it effectively requires precision and coordination. Ads arrive in different formats, from different sources, at different times — and every single one needs to be checked, corrected if necessary, and placed correctly within the layout. Our ad management team handles this entire process on your behalf.
We receive ad materials, verify technical specifications, request corrections where needed, and integrate everything seamlessly into your publication’s layout. The result is a smoother production process, happier advertisers, and a publication that looks exactly as intended — every time.
PRIMARIX software (language switching for catalogs)
For businesses that produce product catalogs in multiple languages, the traditional approach is painfully inefficient — manually replacing text across hundreds of pages, version by version. PRIMARIX changes that entirely. Developed in-house by the FDS team, PRIMARIX automates the language switching process, intelligently replacing text content across your entire catalog layout while preserving all design elements, formatting, and image placements.
The result is a faster turnaround, a significantly reduced risk of errors, and a consistent visual output across every language version. Whether you’re producing catalogs in two languages or twenty, PRIMARIX makes the process manageable, scalable, and cost-effective.
