Fast under real traffic
Content-heavy platforms that stay quick and reliable when traffic spikes, on every device.

Building media and content platforms for real traffic
For digital media, publishers and content platforms, where high traffic, editorial workflows and performance decide whether the product holds up. It's the work behind the Index Recipes platform we've built, visited by 50,000+ people a day.
How we help
How we help media and content teams
High traffic and daily publishing put pressure on the same four things. Here's how we handle each one.
Editorial workflows that fit the newsroom
Complex content structures and publishing workflows built around how editors actually work.
Start with
Built to handle large libraries
Search, filtering and content models that stay usable as the archive grows into the millions.
Start with
Monetisation built in
Advertising, subscriptions and sponsorship models supported without slowing the experience.

From the team
Ask an expert
“We've built and scaled content platforms with Index.hr, one of the region's biggest media companies, serving 50,000+ readers a day. That kind of traffic is unforgiving: the architecture either holds when a story breaks or it doesn't.”
Our solutions
Our Media & Content solutions
News sites, content portals and niche information products built to stay fast when the audience arrives all at once. We design content models and journeys that make a large library easy to navigate, and engineer the caching, CDN and architecture that keep the site quick under load. That is the work behind the Index Recipes platform, built with Index.hr and visited by 50,000+ people a day.
Publishing workflows and content structures built around how your editorial team actually works: drafting, review, scheduling, roles and permissions, not forced into a generic CMS. We model the content once, properly, so the same articles, media and taxonomies power the website, apps and any other channel without duplicated effort.
Fast search, smart filtering and recommendations that help readers find the next thing to read across an archive that keeps growing. We build discovery that stays quick at scale and, where it helps, AI-assisted tagging, summarisation and personalisation grounded in your own content.
Revenue built into the platform without wrecking the reading experience: memberships, paywalls, subscriber management and ad and sponsorship integrations. We implement the model you're actually running and keep performance and UX intact, so monetisation and audience growth don't fight each other.

Process
How we typically start in media and content
From a first call to a first release: a clear path to scope, align and ship with a senior, AI-augmented squad.
Discovery call
30-45 minutes
A short call to understand your product, your traffic patterns, your editorial workflow and how you monetise, and check fit. First call is with our commercial lead, often joined by a senior product or engineering lead.
Scoping sprint
1-3 weeks
A time-boxed step on the parts that matter: content model, editorial workflow, performance budget and monetisation. You get scope, risks and a plan before committing.
Build or long-term partnership
Weekly releases
First delivery slice (a portal, a tool or a redesign), then weekly releases. A managed senior squad keeps going for ongoing product work.

FAQ
Common questions
For new products or complex work, yes: a focused discovery or scoping sprint saves time and risk for both sides. For smaller, well-understood increments on existing systems, we can sometimes go straight into a small delivery phase after a structured triage call.
Yes. We integrate with your existing stack and third-party systems, whether CRM, ERP, payments, registries, data sources and internal tools, and we plan the unknowns and failure modes up front instead of discovering them in production.
Yes. We build for the spike: a caching and CDN strategy, a fast content pipeline and Core Web Vitals budgets, so a big story or campaign brings traffic without bringing the site down.
