I’m building an online hub devoted entirely to local news and need a developer who can take the idea from concept to launch. The site should let me post articles quickly, tag them by city-specific categories, and spotlight breaking stories on the home page. A clean, mobile-first layout is essential so readers on phones can skim headlines as easily as those on desktop. Core functions I have in mind: • Intuitive editor for text, photos, and embedded video so staff reporters can publish without touching code • Search and filter tools that surface past stories by keyword, date, or neighborhood • Section management that makes it simple to add or rename areas such as politics, sports, or weather as our coverage grows • SEO-friendly URL structure and metadata fields so each article has the best chance of ranking locally • Basic user accounts for readers who want to comment or save favorites, with CAPTCHA or equivalent spam control • Analytics hooks (Google Analytics, Matomo, or similar) to track readership trends I’m open to WordPress, Laravel, or another framework you prefer as long as it stays fast, secure, and easy for non-technical editors to manage. Please outline the toolset you’d use, any relevant newsroom sites you’ve built, and a realistic timeline from kickoff through deployment on my hosting provider.
