frequently asked questions
How do you build news platforms that load fast on slow mobile networks?
We use server-side rendering (Nuxt.js) for instant first paint, optimised images via CDN, and lazy loading for below-fold content. Popular article pages are pre-rendered and aggressively cached at the CDN layer.
Can you build a paywall system for a news subscription model?
Yes. We build metered paywalls (free articles per month before a subscription prompt) and hard paywalls for premium content — including subscription management, dunning, and gift subscriptions.
Do you build editorial CMS tools for newsrooms?
Yes. We build custom CMS platforms with multi-author support, article drafts and versioning, scheduling, and SEO metadata fields — or integrate headless CMS platforms like Directus or Strapi.
Can you integrate programmatic advertising into a news platform?
Yes. We integrate Google Ad Manager for display, native, and video ads with granular placement control and header bidding configurations.
