01 · websites for media and newsrooms
Sections and authors, an editor-friendly admin panel, subscriptions, newsletters and labeled advertising. A story goes live in minutes and doesn’t crash the site at peak traffic
A city news feed and a business magazine have different readers and different revenue. We start a media website with how your newsroom works
Readers come for what happened on their street. The site has to surface what’s fresh and local fast, not everything at once
Every minute counts: a story has to go live, reach search engines and aggregators and survive a flood of readers
People read for a long time here and come back for the writers. Layout, photos and comfortable mobile reading decide it
A narrow, demanding audience: they value accuracy, a deep archive and finding a story a year later
Readers pay the bills. The site has to be honest about what they’re paying for and stay out of the way once they have
A blog, a brand magazine or a personal project: content builds trust, and subscribers drive sales
Six steps where a publication wins or loses its audience. At every step, the site works for the newsroom
Each story goes straight into the sitemap and aggregator feeds, so search engines learn about it without delay. The headline and cover image look right in search results and messengers
The article loads fast even on the subway, ads don’t make the text jump, and type and spacing are made for reading on a phone
Below the story: related news, the full storyline and more from the author. Readers stay on the site instead of going back to their feed
A morning digest by email, breaking-news alerts, links to the newsroom’s channels. The sign-up form never covers the text
Part of the text is open, followed by clear plans and a payment in a couple of steps. After payment the article unlocks instantly, no second login
Comments with rules, blocked words and reporting. Anything questionable goes to a moderator, and the newsroom sees it all in one queue
The editor hits “Publish”, and the site updates the feeds, the sitemap, social cover images and the newsletter on its own. Nobody copies a story by hand
We connect the publication’s site to channels and services: News aggregators, Content platforms, RSS, AMP, Telegram channels, Social media, Email services, CDN, Ad networks, Online payments, Analytics
We add AMP and platform-specific formats only if they actually bring in your audience. Platform rules change, so we check their current requirements before kickoff
Media outlets have obligations an ordinary site doesn’t. We build them into the admin panel so editors don’t have to keep it all in their heads
Registration details, publisher, editor-in-chief and newsroom contacts in the footer of every page and on a dedicated page. Editable from the admin panel
An age rating for the whole site and separately for stories that need one. Editors set it when publishing instead of remembering later
Publishing without waiting for a site rebuild, an instant sitemap update and a ping to search engines. A typo fix shows up immediately too
Caching and CDN delivery: a breaking story that spreads across channels won’t take the site down. We load-test before launch
Discussion rules, pre-moderation for new users, blocked words and reporting. Deleted comments are kept in a log in case you need to review them
The “Advertisement” label, the advertiser and the ad ID are separate fields on every story and banner. Sponsored content can’t be published without them
The cost depends on scope. We send a detailed estimate after the brief and don’t change it after kickoff unless the scope changes

A call with the editor-in-chief and whoever runs advertising. We go through how the newsroom works today and send a phased estimate
A prototype of the homepage, article page and admin panel, then the design. We show it to editors early so publishing feels right to them
We show each phase on a staging site and sign it off. You pay phase by phase
We migrate the archive, check load and indexing, and train the newsroom. A month of support is included

Didn’t find your question? Ask it on Telegram and we’ll reply during business hours
Ask on TelegramWe handle the technical side; the platforms decide
We set up feeds, markup and a news sitemap in the formats the platforms accept. The newsroom submits the application, and each platform sets its own requirements for publications, so we don’t promise inclusion
Not for development; some platforms and legal status may require it
The site can be built and launched without registration. If your publication is registered, we display the imprint as the law requires. Registration questions are best discussed with a lawyer; we take care of the technical side
Yes, if it’s planned into the project
Article pages are served from cache and via a CDN, and heavy blocks load separately. Before launch we run load tests and show how many concurrent readers the site handles on your server
We design it together with your editors
Drafts, roles for writer, editor and managing editor, scheduled publishing, revision history and preview. Stories are built from blocks: text, photo, video, quote, sidebar. We train the newsroom before launch
A paywall, plans and a subscriber account
Editors mark which stories are paid and how much text shows before the paywall. Readers pick a plan and pay by card; the subscription renews automatically and can be canceled in the account without emailing support
We don’t promise numbers before launch
Your audience depends on the newsroom, topics and publishing frequency. We make sure stories are indexed quickly and load without delay, and that analytics shows where readers come from and what they read
Yes, with the old URLs or redirects
We migrate stories, photos, authors and tags, keep the URLs or set up redirects, and check indexing after launch. The source code and all access go to the publication’s owner; we host the site where you choose or on your own server
Tell us about your publication, how many stories you publish a day and what the site runs on now. We reply within two business hours and send an estimate after the brief
