Campus Aaj

The Challenge

A campus news portal for Bangladesh needed a WordPress-based system where a team of student journalists could write, edit, and publish news articles easily. The site had to work great on mobile phones — where most of their readers access content — and rank for campus news queries in Bengali search.

The Solution

• WordPress custom theme built from scratch — no bloated page builders, no unnecessary plugins
• Category-based article organization with tags for cross-referencing related stories
• Mobile-optimized reading experience — readable text without zooming, touch-friendly navigation
• SEO foundation with semantic markup, clean URLs, and structured data for news articles

Key Decisions

• Custom theme over pre-built — most WordPress themes ship with 15+ unused CSS files; this theme ships exactly what the site needs and nothing more

Results

• Student journalists publish articles independently through WordPress admin
• Fast mobile loads — critical for a Bangladesh audience where many readers use mobile data
• Campus news stories appear in Google search results for relevant queries
