After working on many news portals and media websites, I have found work done on news portals very interesting, captivating and entrancing. I just love the fair balance of work require to be done in news portals. The news web place is an idealistic field, where friction has to be removed from enterprise before starting doing anything. While creating and piling this system, various new technologies like XML and RSS have been used which in turn also saves a lot of time for the company requiring it. As per my one of the observance, working on professional portals is like same as on news portals, if and only if you acknowledge less perceptive user requirements for branding and monetization. Since from a long period of time, we are working on news portals and during this period of time, we have also determined several other dozens of news portals, in which I have noticed that most of the online news sites makes unique design mistakes.
One of the mistakes that occur mostly is with the “fill available space” logic. According to me, the user should not browse through wide range of varied headline designs, fonts, inconsistent graphics etc. What the reader wants to have in a news portal is simplicity and informative content. No body pays much attention on home page animation and showy graphical drop down menus.
Along with this, no body really wants to have unnecessary clutter on the home page content of news portal. Including variety of news feed resources; more density of the reader is on the layout of home page, headlines and titles, which must be more color-coded, eye catchy and simple. More crisp and clean design structure is the success mantra for the news sites. The length of the headlines must be clear and appealing. Advertisements available on news portals are comparatively more memorable than other things. The essential planning and proper agreement addressing standard design web site are important, before making live your news portal. Our major aim is to a great job work by impressing more and more visitors, by having a simple and readable news portal. In a nutshell, if you are also looking for constructing a news portal, at least spend 2-3 hours on Google and look for the various differences between news portals available on Internet or consult us.
