A news portal that loads on Robi 4G in Mirpur, ranks for trending searches and lets your reporter publish from a phone in five minutes.
I am RH Fardin, a senior designer-developer and the best news portal website company in Dhaka for publishers who want one expert. I build news portal websites for Dhaka publishers, bloggers and small media houses myself. No agency floor, no junior handoffs and no template marketplace flips. You get Bangla typography that reads well and a Google News-friendly structure. AdSense and direct ad slots sit where they earn without ruining the article. From 50,000 BDT.
About 5 years of senior work. One operator from brief to launch. 50% advance, 50% on launch. Design approval before code starts.
+Trusted by 50+ founders, agencies and teams across Bangladesh and beyond.
Trusted by teams I've built websites for
The best news portal website company in Dhaka starts by fixing what readers hate. Open ten Dhaka news portals on 4G in Banani and you see the same problem. A bloated WordPress theme from ThemeForest shows eight popup ads before the headline. The Bangla font falls back to a half-broken Solaiman Lipi. The Google PageSpeed score would embarrass a 2014 blog.
Readers leave inside three seconds. Advertisers pay CPM on impressions that never load. That is the gap I close.
I have designed and built websites for Bangladeshi clients for about five years. There is no agency, no juniors and no outsourced backend team in another time zone. I build every line of code, every Bangla font pairing and every category archive layout myself. When you message me on WhatsApp at 11pm because a breaking news embed is broken, you reach the person who built the portal. You do not reach a ticket queue.
Dhaka publishers have very specific pain. Reporters type in Avro on their phones. Editors want to rearrange featured slots in one click before the 8pm bulletin. Owners care about AdSense approval and direct ad revenue. And readers open 70 percent of articles on mobile data. I build for that exact reality.
That means Bangla-first typography with Hind Siliguri or Noto Sans Bengali, and AMP-aware article templates. It means schema markup that helps you land in Google News and Discover. And it means an admin panel your reporter can learn in 20 minutes. This is news portal web design in Dhaka built around how a newsroom really works.
I work directly with editorial teams in Dhanmondi, Uttara, Old Dhaka and Gulshan. On the publisher side, that ranges from one-person opinion sites to small newsrooms with five or six contributors. I do not chase 50-client agency revenue. I take a few news portal projects each quarter and ship each one properly.
Maybe you want the best news portal website company in Dhaka because you want a senior operator who answers his own phone. If so, that is the offer.
Here are six things every news portal I ship for a Dhaka publisher does well. These are not generic feature bullets. They are the specific things that decide if your portal earns or sinks.
Hind Siliguri, Noto Sans Bengali or SolaimanLipi, paired with proper line height and conjunct rendering. Your headlines look like a real newspaper, not a default WordPress preview.
Article pages stay under 1.5 MB, with lazy-loaded images and fonts cut down to Bangla glyphs only. I test at the 4G speeds readers get in Mirpur and Mohakhali, not just on localhost.
You get NewsArticle schema, proper publish date and author markup, an XML news sitemap and canonical tags. It is all built so your Google News publisher application has a real chance.
AdSense and direct ad zones are placed in the header, in the article and in the sidebar. They are sized to fill on Bangladeshi ad inventory without breaking Core Web Vitals.
You get a custom WordPress or headless setup with an Avro and Bijoy-friendly editor. Reporters can paste images from the phone gallery and promote a featured slot in one click. They learn it in 20 minutes.
You message me, and I respond. That goes for a bKash payment, a broken video embed or a midnight breaking news layout tweak. No ticket queue and no junior in the middle.
Most Dhaka news portal owners think the website is the product. It is not. The product is reading speed, publish speed and ad fill rate. A reader on Banglalink 4G in Jatrabari has about four seconds of patience. Say your homepage loads a 600 KB slider, 12 ad scripts and three jQuery plugins from an origin in Singapore with no Cloudflare. You have lost them before they see the headline.
I design the homepage backwards from that limit. I use static-first HTML, inline the critical CSS and keep the hero image at 60 KB. Ad scripts are deferred. Fonts are hosted locally and cut down to Bangla characters. The result is a news portal website in Dhaka that opens on a metro rail commuter's phone before your rival's spinner stops spinning.
On the back end, I design for the reporter typing a hospital fire story from a CNG at 9pm. The admin must accept a paste from a phone and resize the uploaded JPEG to three sizes on its own. It must let them pick a category in two taps and publish without timeouts. I also build category archive pages, author pages and tag pages. Election or special event sections can be spun up without calling me.
You can add bKash and Nagad payment for premium subscriptions if you want a paid tier. I set up Google News and Bing News submission and an AMP fallback for older traffic. I also add proper Open Graph tags, so your stories show the right thumbnail when shared in Facebook groups. That is still where most Bangladeshi readers find news.

These are real questions Dhaka news portal owners ask me before booking, answered straight with no padding.
A working news portal in Dhaka starts at 50,000 BDT. That covers a single-category blog-style portal with Bangla typography, basic AdSense slots and a reporter-friendly WordPress admin. Multi-category portals with custom homepage layouts, video embeds and Google News-ready schema cost 90,000 to 1,50,000 BDT. You may need a fully custom headless setup with a subscriber paywall, bKash payment, a mobile app API or a breaking news ticker. Those custom builds start from 3,00,000 BDT. Payment is 50 percent advance and 50 percent on launch.
No developer can guarantee AdSense approval. Google decides based on your content, traffic and policy compliance. What I do is build the technical base that approval needs. That means privacy policy and about page templates, a clean ads.txt, NewsArticle schema, no copied content structure, fast loading and clear ad zones that meet AdSense rules. Most clients with original Bangla reporting are ready for approval within their first three months. By then they have 30 to 50 original articles published.
Yes. After launch, I set up Google Publisher Center submission and verify ownership. I add the news sitemap and walk you through the Google News inclusion application. Bing News submission is also included. Getting accepted depends on your editorial standards and originality. I have seen Dhaka portals accepted within weeks. I have seen others rejected because they were rewriting Prothom Alo headlines. If your content strategy is the problem, I will tell you straight before launch.
Yes. That is a core design rule. The admin works on mobile and accepts pasted images from the phone gallery. It compresses uploads on its own, so a 3 MB phone photo becomes a 90 KB optimised JPEG before publishing. It works on a Robi or Grameenphone 4G connection without timing out. Bangla typing through the Avro keyboard, Ridmik or Gboard Bengali all work natively.
A 50,000 BDT single-category portal takes about three weeks. That is one week for design, one for development and one for content setup and Google News submission. A 90,000 to 1,50,000 BDT multi-category portal with custom layouts takes four to six weeks. Custom builds with a paywall or app API take six to ten weeks. I commit to dates in writing. You approve the design before I write a line of code.
Plan for it now, and the groundwork is free. The CMS is built with a multilingual category structure from day one. So adding an English section later is a content task, not a rebuild. If you bolt it on a year later as a separate site, you will pay for another build. I will ask about your one-year content plan in the discovery call, so the structure matches it.
