About this build
Rajshahi news publishers deserve a portal built for reporters, not just designers
Good news portal website development in Rajshahi is rare. Most local portals use a cheap WordPress theme bought online. Then they add five plugins for sliders, popups and "related news" carousels. The homepage takes 9 seconds to load on 4G in Talaimari. Bangla fonts show as boxes on older Android phones.
The reporter dashboard is so confusing that the editor types every story in MS Word first. Then he pastes it in. That wastes time on every single story, and it is worst on busy news days.
This page is about a different kind of build. I build news portal websites in Rajshahi as one senior developer. I write the database schema myself and set up the editorial workflow. I pick a Bangla web font that won't break on a 2,500 taka Symphony phone. A reporter on a phone in Boalia can publish breaking news in under 90 seconds.
About five years of building real sites, including content heavy ones, taught me what matters. You need a CMS that loads fast, even on the office's shaky broadband. You need a category structure that Google understands. Mobile pages, in an AMP style, must work on 2G in rural Godagari.
The homepage also must not crash when 4,000 readers arrive at once. That happens when a story goes viral on Facebook. I plan for it from the first day of the build.
Pricing is honest. A starter portal costs 50,000 BDT, with one language, three categories and basic ad zones. A mid tier portal costs 90,000 BDT, with Bangla and English, search and reporter login. A full publisher setup costs 1,50,000 BDT, with many authors, a role based editorial workflow and ad server integration.
Anything bigger starts from 3,00,000 BDT. That covers district editions, video and paid memberships. You pay 50% in advance and 50% on launch, through bKash, Nagad or bank transfer.
