News platforms

News sites with fast headlines that survive traffic spikes.

News platforms

Publishing

On a news site, speed is a design decision. The headline must change within seconds, the page must open on the first screen and search engines must find the new story right away.

Who it’s for

  • Local and regional news sites
  • Magazines and papers moving to digital

Tools I use

  • Laravel
  • Blade
  • MySQL
  • PostgreSQL
  • Tailwind CSS

What gets built

  1. Editor and reporter publishing workflow

  2. Headline, secondary headline and category showcases

  3. Author, tag and archive pages

  4. Structured data and sitemaps for news

  5. Caching and image optimisation

Figure 1. Setting up News platforms: the pieces go on the board in this order.
