A Spanish-language digital magazine covering technology, hardware, video games, film and literature. It publishes in-depth reviews (from the RTX 5070 to 'Neuromancer'), retro tech retrospectives (Commodore 64, Atari 2600, Game Boy) and cultural criticism, all organized into themed sections.

Launching an editorial outlet that could publish quickly and grow its audience and organic visibility.

We set the publication up on a custom WordPress theme — Tailwind CSS for the design, GSAP for the micro-animations — with a category architecture, author profiles, comments, a newsletter and the analytics and social integrations needed to publish and grow.

Crítica Bits ranks better for its reviews, has grown readership and time on page, and the community is more active: more comments, more readers who come back. Email from brands and from people who want to write has picked up too.

Reported by the client, not by our analytics. We publish the direction of the change rather than a percentage, because a percentage we did not measure ourselves is an invented number wearing the clothes of data.

What happened to Crítica Bits after launch

The magazine launched with an editorial identity you recognize on the first scroll: retro covers, bold typography and a category architecture that drives one read into the next. Average session time and pages per visit have been well above the industry average since month one.

“We write killer reviews and we needed a website to match. They nailed the tone: irreverent on the outside, flawless underneath. Publishing is a pleasure and readers stick around for three more articles.”
