Two very different titles. The same engine.
A daily regional news site and a 40-year-old wellness magazine share nothing on the surface. Underneath, both run on Wave Publisher, down to the back office. Switch between them.
Daily health, wealth and lifestyle news for Nassau and Suffolk, with a community calendar, directory, marketplace and native apps.

A 40-year holistic wellness print magazine, now with its full issue archive, reader circles, daily affirmations and an app.
Visit creationsmag.com ↗The ads aren’t a plugin. They’re the business model.
Every page on a Wave Publisher site ships with ad placements already designed into it. Sell a sponsor a box in the article grid or a banner across the whole site, schedule it, and watch impressions and clicks come in from the same HQ where you publish.
- 17 placements across home, articles, sections, calendar, listings and search
- Square and wide formats, with a phone-sized creative swapped in automatically
- Start and end dates, rotation weights and packages you define
- No Google AdSense, no ad-tech middlemen: you keep the sponsor relationship
Ten tools you’d otherwise stitch together. One login.
No WordPress plugins to update, no separate calendar app, no ad server to license. It’s all one system, and it’s all already in production.
