News & Media Website Design

News sites fail in their own special ways: too many articles to organize, and ads that wreck the reading.

Above the fold

A news site has one layout that matters

Here’s ours — every headline is a promise about how we build.

Everything below the fold — the plugins, the ad platform, the syncing — we wrote ourselves for publishers.

What wrecks the reading

Readers leave quietly; Google leaves loudly.

  • Archives that turn into a maze after a few hundred stories
  • Articles missing the markup Google News needs to find them
  • Ads bolted on late, dragging the whole site down
  • Publishing tools that can't keep up with the pace

How we build it

Structure first, markup always, revenue built in

We plan the categories and archives before the visual design. We mark up every article the way news search wants. And we build the ad and syncing tools into the platform - including custom ad-serving and content-sync plugins we wrote for publishers.

Common questions

Can the site handle daily publishing?

Yes. We design the categories and archives for volume, so it stays organized at a thousand stories.

Can we sell our own ads?

Yes. We built a direct ad platform for exactly that - your ads, your rates, your money.

What does a publishing site cost?

A standard site typically starts at $2,200. A platform with custom publishing tools gets its own quote - the first call is free and ends with a real number.

How long does it take?

A standard news site runs four to eight weeks. Custom tools get their own timeline, agreed before we start.

Can we keep our archive?

Yes. We migrate your stories and plan the categories so the archive stays useful, not a maze.

Will Google News find our articles?

We mark up every article the way news search wants - that's built in, not bolted on.

What does hosting cost for a busy site?

Managed hosting is $55 a month including support time. If your traffic outgrows it, we'll tell you before it's a problem.

Built for the daily deadline

Publishing tools that keep up with the pace - and archives that keep old stories earning.
