ECO - Economia Online
Portugal's first mobile-native platform reshaping financial news
Modular Architecture
Product UX
When the economy becomes harder to understand
ECO is a digital newspaper built to lead in financial news and set the benchmark for trusted economic insight in Portugal. Data-heavy layouts overwhelmed readers and slowed publication. Rethinking how financial news is delivered required addressing three core challenges:
1
Make financial news accessible to readers without losing depth for experts
2
Publish at speed while maintaining editorial voice across story formats
3
Build reader trust in journalism through clear transparent reporting
Arquitecture
Modular Editorial Layouts
Journalists needed flexibility without sacrificing consistency when composing at publication speed. This framework defines content hierarchies and layout typologies for that balance. Content blocks, text, advertising, topics, opinions, and imagery combine within a modular system supporting diverse storytelling while maintaining coherence.
Product
Designed for modern news consumption
