The media group had no digital presence and needed to migrate 10+ years of print archives while simultaneously launching a modern news portal — without disrupting their ongoing print operations.
Built a headless CMS with a custom rich-text editor tailored for journalists, an automated image optimisation pipeline, and a responsive reader portal with category filtering, full-text search, and a subscription paywall.
15,000 articles migrated from print archives. 8,000 registered readers within 3 months of launch. Subscription revenue covered server costs within 60 days.
