In this episode of Behind the Beacon, hosts Daralyse Lyons and Emily Smith pull back the curtain on the technology that powers the Bucks County Beacon. They explore how the Beacon’s tech stack shapes everything from publishing to expansion.
Emily explains how she built the Beacon’s website ground-up using WordPress and why open‑source tools matter. Together, they discuss the trade‑offs between keeping content free and sustaining the business.
UPCOMING EVENT: We are spearheading a FREE community event, The Power of Participation, on June 2nd.
