Project Overview
We partnered with a legacy news agency, to overhaul their digital presence. The goal was to solve low engagement metrics and slow load times by implementing a native-feel Progressive Web App (PWA) that prioritizes mobile users without sacrificing the desktop experience.
The Challenge
Slow Performance
Existing site took over 6 seconds to load, leading to a 70% bounce rate on mobile devices.
Poor Mobile UX
Desktop-first design resulted in unreadable text and tiny touch targets on smaller screens.
Low Engagement
Lack of personalization meant users were served irrelevant content, reducing session times.
Our Solution
Instant Loading
Implemented a PWA architecture with offline capabilities, bringing load times under 1 second.
Mobile-First Design
Designed touch-friendly interfaces with bottom navigation and gesture support for seamless browsing.
AI Personalization
Integrated a recommendation engine to serve tailored news feeds based on reading history.
Core Capabilities

Personalized News Feeds
We built a smart algorithm that learns from reading habits. Users no longer need to sift through irrelevant noise; their homepage adapts to show them the stories that matter most to them, increasing retention by 40%.

Immersive Dark Mode
Recognizing that news consumption often happens in low-light environments, we designed a high-contrast dark mode that reduces eye strain and conserves battery life on OLED screens.
Our Approach
We follow a rigorous, data-driven process to ensure we solve the right problems effectively.
