A news portal has to stay fast on busy days, make publishing quick for reporters, and keep readers moving from one story to the next. It also needs clear places for advertising so it can pay for itself.
We build and run news platforms ourselves. Our own product, TongCast, publishes Bangla news on the web and in mobile apps, so we know the daily realities of a newsroom.

News Portal Development, Built for Speed and Daily Publishing
A news portal is not an ordinary website. It publishes many times a day, gets sudden traffic spikes when a story breaks, and has to stay readable on cheap phones over slow mobile data. Readers leave quickly if a page takes too long, and advertisers judge a portal by how many pages people actually see.
We build news portals that make daily work easy for your editors and fast for your readers. Reporters get a clean writing screen with categories, tags, featured images and scheduling. Editors get review and approval steps. Readers get a fast homepage, clear sections, breaking news, and pages that share well on Facebook and WhatsApp.
Every portal supports Bangla and English, and we set up the technical basics that Google News and social platforms expect, so your stories can be found and shared from the first day.
Why the Platform Matters for a News Business
In news, the website is the product. If the homepage is slow, if the admin panel is confusing, or if the server goes down during a big story, you lose readers and ad income at the exact moment they matter most.
A well-planned portal lets a small team publish more, keeps pages fast as the archive grows to thousands of articles, and gives you clean ad positions you can sell directly or fill through Google AdSense.
Problems We Help News Publishers Solve
Slow pages on mobile
Heavy themes, oversized images and too many scripts make stories load slowly on mobile data. We optimise images, caching and scripts so articles open quickly.
Site crashes on big news days
Traffic spikes can bring an untuned server down. We set up page caching and a CDN so busy days do not take the portal offline.
Confusing publishing workflow
When reporters and editors share one login or one role, mistakes reach the live site. We set up proper roles: reporter, editor and admin.
Bangla text problems
Broken fonts, odd line breaks and poor search for Bangla words frustrate readers. We use proper Unicode Bangla fonts and test search in both languages.
Poor sharing previews
Stories shared on Facebook without the right image or headline get fewer clicks. We configure Open Graph tags so every share shows the correct preview.
Ads that hurt the reading experience
Random ad placements slow pages and annoy readers. We plan fixed, well-sized ad slots that load without pushing the content around.
What a Spider ITS News Portal Can Include
The exact features depend on the package you choose. These are the building blocks we work with most often:
Category and section pages
National, international, sports, business, entertainment or any sections you need, each with its own layout.
Breaking news ticker
A scrolling headline bar on the homepage that editors control from the dashboard.
Editorial roles and approvals
Reporters submit drafts, editors review and publish. Every change is tracked in revisions.
Scheduled publishing
Write stories in advance and set them to go live at a chosen date and time.
Video and photo galleries
Embed YouTube or Facebook videos and build photo stories that work well on mobile.
Ad management
Header, sidebar, in-article and footer ad positions for AdSense or direct advertisers.
Archive and date search
Readers can browse older news by date, category or keyword.
E-paper section
Optional page for uploading daily print editions as images or PDF.
Social sharing and comments
Share buttons for Facebook, WhatsApp, X and LinkedIn, with optional moderated comments.

Budget Guide: Which Package Fits Your Portal?
Use this as a starting point. We confirm the final scope with you before any work starts.
- Starter Portal (৳22,500): a new local or niche portal with a few sections and a small team.
- Professional Portal (৳31,500): a growing portal that needs more sections, ad positions, video and editorial roles.
- Enterprise Portal (৳45,000): a larger newsroom that needs e-paper, advanced layouts, more roles and performance tuning for high traffic.
- Projects of ৳10,000 or more can start with a 50% advance, and the balance is paid at delivery.
Support After Launch
We train your editors on publishing, image sizes, categories and scheduling, so the team is confident from the first day.
After launch, the support period in your package covers bug fixes and small adjustments. For ongoing security updates, backups and performance checks, you can add a Website Maintenance plan at any time.
How to Choose the Right Setup
Before we start, it helps to think about these questions:
- How many stories will you publish per day, and how many people will write them?
- Which sections and sub-sections do you need at launch?
- Will you sell ads directly, use AdSense, or both?
- Do you need Bangla only, English only, or both?
- Do you have a print edition that needs an e-paper page?
- Where is your current hosting, and do you need us to move existing articles?

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you build an app for my news portal too?
Yes. We built the TongCast apps for Android and iOS, and we can create apps that pull stories from your website automatically.
Will the portal handle high traffic on big news days?
We optimise images, use caching, and recommend suitable hosting. For very high traffic we can set up a VPS or cloud server.
Can I earn money from ads?
Yes. We add ad zones for direct advertisers and can set up Google AdSense once your site meets Google’s requirements.
Can you move my existing news archive?
In most cases, yes. We can migrate articles, categories, and images from an older website and keep old links working.
Can you move our existing news articles to the new portal?
Yes, in most cases. If your current site is on WordPress or another system that can export data, we can migrate articles, images and categories. We review the old site first and confirm the scope and any extra cost before starting.
Can we earn from Google AdSense?
We build the ad positions and can place your AdSense code. Approval is decided by Google based on its own policies and your content, so we cannot promise approval, but we make sure the technical setup meets their requirements.
Do you provide a mobile app for the portal?
The portal itself is fully mobile-friendly. If you also want an Android or iOS app, our Mobile App team can build one that pulls stories from the portal. That is quoted separately.
