Creating a news website
This lightweight and flexible news website was developed from scratch. The content blocks should be simple so that the visitor can easily see headings and read published articles. We designed this resource taking into account the probability of high traffic load and the large volume of the database. Although it's a minimalistic interface design, this informative portal had a complex workflow, in the development process. In the CMS an administrator can create news sections & subsections, manage the news list, add editors and content writers. In order not to infringe on the copyright of the photos, we designed a module for the authors to indicate the sources.
- Creation date: 2019
- Development period: 90 days
- Website type: business portal

Structure of the website
A great news website should be visually perceived because in case of improper layout and a large amount of information the visitor can simply leave the website to avoid overwhelming visualization.
The website has a classic menu style, with a piece of listed news. Informative pages are fully manageable by categories and blocks, from the admin panel, also it is possible to change the order of relevance of the news.
The management system
The news management system is the most important part of the project. The main purpose of CMS development is to make the work of the editors easy, we have created a system of statuses for each article. With appropriate tools, a content manager can add news without publishing on the site, make real-time corrections, send an article to the verification/confirmation department, after which an administrator can plan the day and time of publication. The admin system also allows you to add journalists with different powers and limited/unlimited activities.
Mobile version
According to statistics, the mobile version of news sites provides more than 65% of the total traffic. That means, that without mobile versions of convenient, fast-working resources, you will lose more than half of your potential visitors. So without, providing a satisfactory mobile experience, the website will miss out on the competition in the sphere.
