Project Information

Client Name : NewsNest24.Net

Date : 05 October, 2024

Location : Bangladesh

The Challenge

Creating NewsNest24.net was not without its hurdles. The primary challenge was implementing a Bangla date and time display that enhanced user relatability. The client emphasized having a “time ago” format in Bangla (e.g., “১ ঘন্টা আগে”) and a switch to a standard date format after one day. Achieving this required going beyond plugins and making custom adjustments to ensure the best user experience.

Pain Points

Many Bangla news platforms lack a fully localized user experience. Most solutions don’t provide intuitive time formatting or present information in a way that truly resonates with Bangla-speaking users.

Our Solutions

Localized Date and Time Display

To meet the client’s requirements, I customized the WordPress core functionality to enable Bangla date and time display. This included:

  • Developing a custom function to convert English numbers to Bangla.
  • Overhauling the “time ago” feature to support Bangla language units such as “মিনিট” (minutes) and “ঘন্টা” (hours).

Clean and Responsive Design

Using WordPress and Elementor, I built a sleek, mobile-friendly design that adapts beautifully across devices. The layout prioritizes readability and simplicity, ensuring users can focus on the content.

SEO and Performance Optimization

To ensure the site loads quickly and ranks well on search engines, I implemented:

  • Minified CSS and JavaScript files.
  • Image compression for faster load times.
  • On-page SEO optimizations with meta descriptions and alt tags in Bangla.

Analytics Integration

Google Analytics and Meta Pixel were integrated to monitor traffic and user behavior, enabling the client to refine their content strategy continuously.

Objective

Development Process

The development journey was both challenging and rewarding. I dedicated time to crafting a solution for Bangla date localization, which I later shared in a detailed blog post to help other developers facing similar issues.

Outcome

NewsNest24.net now stands as a reliable and visually appealing Bangla news portal. Its clean design, localized features, and optimized performance make it a go-to destination for Bangla-speaking news readers.

Final Thoughts

Building NewsNest24.net showcased how attention to detail in localization and user-centric design can significantly improve user engagement. The project reinforced my belief in the power of customization to create platforms that truly resonate with their audience.
