A purpose-built Bangla and English news portal for Rajshahi publishers — fast Core Web Vitals, a clean reporter dashboard, category and tag taxonomy that actually scales, and an AdSense-friendly layout from day one. Starting at 50,000 BDT, with 50% advance and 50% on launch.
Built and maintained by one senior developer with around 5 years of shipping live sites across Bangladesh — no juniors, no handoffs.
+Trusted by 50+ founders, agencies and teams across Bangladesh and beyond.

Most news portals in Rajshahi were stitched together from a generic WordPress theme bought off the internet, then loaded with five plugins for sliders, popups, and 'related news' carousels. The result: a homepage that takes 9 seconds to load on a 4G connection in Talaimari, Bangla fonts that render as boxes on older Android phones, and a reporter dashboard so confusing that the editor types every story in MS Word first and then pastes it in.
This page is about a different kind of build. I develop news portal websites in Rajshahi as a single senior developer — I personally write the database schema, set up the editorial workflow, pick the Bangla web font that won't break on a 2,500 taka Symphony phone, and ship a portal where a reporter on a phone in Boalia can publish breaking news in under 90 seconds.
Around five years of building real sites — including content-heavy ones — has taught me the parts that actually matter: a CMS that loads fast even on the office's flaky broadband, a category structure that Google understands, AMP-style mobile pages that survive on 2G in rural Godagari, and a homepage that doesn't melt down when 4,000 readers arrive at once because a story went viral on Facebook.
Pricing is honest: 50,000 BDT for a starter portal (one language, three categories, basic ad zones), 90,000 BDT for a mid-tier portal with Bangla and English, search, and reporter login, 1,50,000 BDT for a full publisher setup with multiple authors, role-based editorial workflow, and ad-server integration. Anything bigger — district-wise editions, video integration, paid memberships — starts from 3,00,000 BDT. 50% advance, 50% on launch, paid via bKash, Nagad, or bank transfer.
Six things I bake into every Rajshahi news portal build — chosen because they're the parts publishers here actually feel the pain of when they're missing.
Hand-picked SolaimanLipi or Noto Sans Bengali web fonts with subsetted glyphs and font-display: swap, so headlines never render as tofu boxes on a reader's old Walton phone in Sapura.
A clean publishing screen with category, tag, featured image, and a 'publish now or schedule' button — nothing else. Your reporters in Rajshahi can push a story from a phone at a Press Club event in under two minutes.
Pre-built ad slots in the header, between paragraphs, and in the sidebar with lazy-loading so they don't tank your Largest Contentful Paint score. Drop in AdSense, bKash promo, or local advertiser banners without touching code.
Page caching, image CDN, and a stack that survives the Facebook share storm when a Rajshahi-only story goes national. No 'site down' message at the worst possible moment.
Schema markup for NewsArticle, clean Bangla URLs, sitemap submitted to Google News, and Open Graph tags that make Facebook previews look like Prothom Alo's, not like a broken thumbnail.
I sign the contract, I build it, I'm the one on WhatsApp when something breaks at 11 PM on election night. No 'project manager' relaying messages to a junior in another city.
Walk through the news portals serving Rajshahi today and you'll see the same pattern: a heavy theme bought for 30 dollars, three carousels on the homepage, autoplay video ads above the fold, and a 'breaking news' ticker that uses JavaScript to scroll text in 2026. The portal looks busy, but it scores 24 on PageSpeed mobile, loses readers in the first 3 seconds, and Google News won't include it because the markup is a mess. The editor gives up and just posts everything to a Facebook page instead.
I build the opposite. A news portal I develop for Rajshahi gets a stripped-down homepage that prioritises the latest story above the fold, lazy-loads everything below, ships under 200 KB on initial paint, and passes Core Web Vitals on a mid-range Android phone. The CMS is custom-fitted to your editorial flow — if you publish 80% Bangla and 20% English, the dashboard reflects that, not the reverse.
AdSense slots are placed where they actually earn (after the first paragraph, mid-article, end-of-article) instead of being sprayed across the page in a way that gets you a Google policy violation in week three. Reporters get a one-screen publish form. Editors get a draft queue. Readers get a portal that loads before they lose patience. That's the whole pitch — fewer moving parts, more readers staying past the headline.

Real questions Rajshahi publishers ask me before signing — with straight answers.
Starts at 50,000 BDT for a single-language portal with three categories, reporter login, and basic ad zones. 90,000 BDT covers a Bangla+English portal with search, social sharing, and AdSense integration. 1,50,000 BDT is a full publisher build with multi-author workflow, role-based access, and a custom ad-server. Bigger setups — district editions, video, memberships — start from 3,00,000 BDT. 50% advance via bKash, Nagad or bank, 50% on launch.
Yes — that's a hard requirement, not a nice-to-have. Every news portal I develop is benchmarked on a throttled 4G connection and a mid-range Android phone before launch. Target is Largest Contentful Paint under 2.5 seconds and a PageSpeed mobile score above 85. Readers on Symphony or Walton phones in Godagari or Charghat will load the homepage in roughly the same time as someone on fibre in Padma Residential Area.
Yes. I ship news portals with properly subsetted Bangla web fonts (SolaimanLipi, Kalpurush, or Noto Sans Bengali — your pick), correct Unicode normalisation, and font-display: swap so text appears immediately while the font loads. No tofu boxes, no 'install Bengali font' message on first visit. Tested on the cheapest Android phones, iOS Safari, and old Windows browsers.
I set up everything Google News expects — NewsArticle structured data, a dedicated news sitemap, clean canonical URLs, publication dates in proper format, and author bylines with their own pages. After launch I'll guide you through the Google Publisher Center application. Approval itself is Google's call and depends on editorial standards on your end, but the technical side is done right.
Yes. The reporter dashboard is built mobile-first — a single scroll-down form with title, body, category, image upload, and publish button. A reporter at a press conference in Rajshahi Court premises can write the story, attach a photo from the phone gallery, and publish in under two minutes. No app to install, just a saved login in Chrome.
Built to survive the Facebook share storm. Server-side caching means the homepage is served as a static file to anonymous readers — even if 5,000 people land at once from a viral Facebook share, the server barely notices. Logged-in editors and reporters get the dynamic version. Image CDN handles the bandwidth. If you outgrow the starter hosting, I'll migrate you to something heavier without rebuilding.
