Why an annual report works as a digital magazine
The annual report is a duty and rarely a pleasure. As a digital issue it becomes an appearance: key figures build up as you scroll, the interview with the board runs as video, and the management report stays complete and exportable as a PDF. Nova AI handles structure, metadata and alternative texts; the figures never leave the house.

This is what an annual report looks like as a digital magazine: in the house's own identity, on every device, with video, galleries and its own URL per page. Built with Novamag, maintained by the team.

Annual report as a digital magazine: what's behind it
The most important terms, figures and workflows, gathered on one page.
What is a digital annual report?
A digital annual report is the yearly report as a web publication: chapters as pages with their own URL, key figures as charts, interviews with video, all responsive. The dpa German Press Agency publishes its report this way with Novamag. The printed or PDF report stays available as an export in the same identity.
How do key figures and tables get into the digital magazine?
Tables and charts are widgets: enter values or pull them from Excel, and the display follows the project styles. Key figures can be highlighted as animated counters, and tables stay readable on a phone. Footnotes and sources sit right at the widget, not at the bottom of the page.
How do we meet review, approval and archiving obligations?
Roles separate editorial, the department and approval; the time machine saves every state and makes changes traceable. The PDF export generates the print-ready version for the shareholder meeting, the federal gazette and the archive. Older reports stay online, and every page keeps its URL.
How do investors and the press find the annual report?
Every page has a title, description and structured data; journalists and analysts find the segment or the figure directly on Google, without searching through the PDF. Deep links in the press release lead to the chapter, and tracking shows which sections get read.
How does the report come together from Word and InDesign?
Nova AI reads the management report, chapter text and tables from Word or the InDesign export, recognises structure and captions, and sets everything in the project styles. The team checks, adds video and charts, and publishes. The report comes together alongside the print version, not after it.
What does a digital annual report cost?
Professional from €445 a month with your own domain, PDF export and multilingual support; many companies use the same project for sustainability and quarterly reports. Microsite development through agencies disappears, and the print run shrinks to mandatory copies.
Annual report as a digital magazine: the key answers
As animated numbers, charts and comparisons that build up as you scroll. Tables remain possible, but become the supplement rather than the main event.
For the supervisory board, the general meeting and the archive, yes. PDF export creates it from the same issue with a cover, headers and footers in the corporate identity, without a second production.
Yes. The issue stays unpublished until the date, or password-protected for the board and the auditors. Publishing is one click on the day.
Every chapter is a URL of its own with metadata, findable in Google and shareable by link. Full-text search covers the reports of previous years too.
Video, audio and galleries run straight on the page. Podcast episodes about the report can be embedded as well.
Yes. Nova AI translates content, routes and metadata from one original; every language is its own issue with a language switch.
Nova AI reads the PDF or the InDesign export, takes over texts, images and structure, and lays them out again in the project styles.
