Scope of work

What exactly we did

Redesigning a news portal with a 166,000-article archive

m9.news came to us as a live site that needed a redesign. The client supplied the design. Our job was to move it onto a portal with 25 categories and an archive of 166,000 articles without losing a single one.

The real challenge was the size of the database. On an archive this large, every slow query or heavy image repeats across thousands of pages: category feeds, the latest and most-read lists all pull from the same huge table. So the speed here comes from optimization built for that volume, not from the theme.

The work didn’t stop at launch. We provide ongoing technical support, change features as new needs come up, and implement the recommendations from SEO audits.
