The Challenge

Create a news platform for moot court updates and legal analysis. The team needed a simple admin system where they could manage articles, comments, and newsletters without writing code. The public-facing side needed a clean, fast front-end that loaded instantly on any device.

The Solution

• WordPress backend powering the admin panel — editors can publish articles, moderate comments, and send newsletters from a familiar interface
• Custom PHP front-end delivering fast, SEO-optimized pages to readers
• Comment system with moderation queue — spam never reaches the public site
• Newsletter signup integration for building the publication's subscriber base

Key Decisions

• WordPress admin with custom front-end — gives editors the tool they know while keeping the public site lean and fast

Results

• Team publishes articles without developer involvement
• Newsletter subscriber base growing through embedded signup forms
• Clean, fast reader experience with no WordPress admin bloat visible to the public
