An online newspaper that is fast on phones and easy for your editors
News readers arrive from search and shared links on their phones, and leave if the page is slow. We build your news website with clear sections and light article pages, and an editorial dashboard where your team writes, reviews and publishes, each with their own role.

What readers need, and what the newsroom needs
Most readers reach a story from a search result or a link in a group or social media account, usually on a phone. They want the page to open quickly, to read the story without ads crowding it, and then to find related stories that keep them on your site.
On the other side is the newsroom: a writer who uploads the story with its photos, an editor who reviews it, and someone who decides to publish it, pin it on the front page or put it in the breaking news bar. We build the website for both sides, usually on WordPress with an editorial dashboard your team will find familiar, or as a custom build if your workflow needs it.

What a news website needs
Tools for readers and tools for the newsroom; we choose with you what suits the size of your publication.
Sections and categories
A front page organised by section, a page for each section and sub-category, and related stories under every article.
Breaking and featured
A breaking news bar, stories pinned on the front page, and the lead story chosen from the editorial dashboard.
Authors and opinion
A page for each writer with a bio and their articles, and an opinion section kept apart from the news.
Tags, search and archive
Tags that group stories on one topic, internal search, and an archive by date and section that stays available to readers.
Editorial roles
A writer uploads the draft, an editor reviews it, the editor-in-chief publishes, with earlier versions of every story kept.
Newsletter
A sign-up form for your newsletter, with clear consent from subscribers and respect for the privacy of their data.
Ad slots
Set places for ads on the front page and inside articles, designed so they do not cover the text on phones.
Social sharing
Share buttons, and the right image and headline when a story's link is shared.
News-ready SEO
A title, description and publish date for every story, plus a sitemap and structured data that help search engines and news services understand your content.
Do you need a full news website?
A good fit if
- An online newspaper or a local or specialist news site that publishes regularly
- A team of writers and editors that needs roles and a review flow
- You want an organised archive that stays searchable for years
- You rely on advertising or a newsletter to reach your readers
You may not need it if
- You post company news now and then, and a news section on your company website is enough
- You want visitors to publish their own content as a community platform, which is a custom system quoted separately
- You want a page for one campaign or event, where a landing page fits better
What to prepare before we start
A news website is built around your editorial choices. This list helps us build it around them.
- The publication's name, logo and brand identity, if you have them
- The sections and categories you publish in
- Your editorial team members and the role of each
- Your publishing and corrections policy and the newsroom's contact details
- The ad placements you want and how you sell them
- The licence details you will display, after checking the media regulator's requirements

News website questions
Will my website appear in Google News?
We prepare the website technically for what search engines and news services look for: clear links, publish dates, structured data and a sitemap. Whether it appears in Google's news services is decided by Google under its own policies, and nobody can guarantee it.
Do we need a licence for online publishing?
Online news publishing in Saudi Arabia may require a licence, so check the media regulator's requirements before launch. We show your licence details on the website as you provide them, and meeting the requirements remains the website owner's responsibility.
Can the website handle heavy traffic during big news?
We build light pages and enable caching, and in the consultation we ask about your expected publishing volume and traffic to suggest the right setup. If what you expect needs more than that, we explain it in the written quote.
Can you move our stories from our current website?
Usually the stories and their images can be moved; we confirm after looking at your current website, in a written quote. If your website already exists and you want to renew it, read about website redesign.
How much does a news website cost?
The price depends on what you need; we confirm it after a quick conversation, and the consultation is always free. Extra features, such as a newsletter or ad management, are quoted in writing before work starts.
Is the consultation really free?
Yes, the consultation is always free. We listen, suggest the right build for your publication, and you pay nothing before you agree.
