News Portal Website Design built for speed
A news site lives or dies on speed: fast pages, fast publishing and fast indexing. I design Hindi and English news portals that load quickly on mobile, are easy for reporters to update and carry the structured data search engines expect.
What a news portal website must get right
Most local portals run on heavy WordPress themes with a dozen plugins. I build lighter setups, static or Core PHP, that are harder to hack and cheaper to host.
Speed on mobile
Lean pages, compressed images and ad slots that do not push the article around while it loads.
Hindi typography that reads well
Devanagari fonts chosen for long reading, with proper line height so matras do not clash.
NewsArticle schema and sitemaps
Article markup, author pages and a news sitemap, so search engines understand what is fresh.
Simple publishing for the desk
Draft, review and publish from one screen, with categories, cities and tags that stay organised.

Real clients, real sites. Some are mid-rebuild, so a live link may still show the older version.

News Portal Website Design: common questions
Straight answers to what owners in this industry usually ask me first.
Can the news portal be fully in Hindi?
Yes. Hindi, English or both, with Devanagari fonts and URLs planned so each language version is indexed properly.
Can reporters publish news themselves?
Yes. Reporters get accounts in the admin panel and can save drafts, while editors review and publish.
Will the news website be fast with ads?
Ad slots get reserved space so pages do not jump, and scripts load after the article. Ad networks still add weight, so we choose them carefully.
Why not use WordPress for a news site?
WordPress works, but news themes and plugins often make sites slow and vulnerable. A lighter custom setup means fewer updates and fewer security problems.
