News Portal Website
A fast news or magazine website your team can publish to every day.
Why people order this
A news site has to be fast on phones, easy to publish to many times a day and set up the way Google News and social media expect. Most themes look fine in a demo but slow down as articles, pictures and ads pile up. We build it for that from the start.
Good for
- Local and regional news outlets moving from social media to their own website.
- Magazines, blogs and niche publishers with several writers.
- Community groups, schools or organisations that publish news often.
- Publishers whose current site is slow or hard for editors to use.
What's included
Not included
- Writing articles or moving more than 50 old articles (quoted separately).
- Paid themes, plugins or ad network accounts.
- Hosting, which you can add from our hosting plans.
- Apps for phones (iOS or Android).
- Paywalls and paid memberships, which are quoted separately.

Good to know before you order
Can my editors publish without your help?
Yes. Publishing an article is as easy as writing an email, and we train your team before launch.
Can you move our old articles?
Yes. Up to 50 are included. For more we quote a fixed price after looking at your current site.
Will it work with Google News?
We set up everything Google News expects: fast pages, article structured data, clear dates and authors and a news sitemap. Being accepted into Google News is decided by Google.
Can we show ads?
Yes. Ad spaces are built in, and they work with your own ads or an ad network such as Google AdSense.
