Blog & CMS Platform

Multi-author blogging platform with TinyMCE editor, category/tag system, SEO meta fields, scheduled publishing, and newsletter subscription.

Overview

A fully-featured content management system and blogging platform built for a digital media company. Supports multiple authors with individual profiles and contribution stats.

Features: WYSIWYG editor (TinyMCE) with image upload, category and tag management, draft/schedule/publish workflow, reading time estimation, post views counter, social share buttons, disqus-style comment system, newsletter subscription with MailChimp integration, and Google Analytics integration.
Problem

The media company was publishing on WordPress but faced severe performance issues due to too many plugins. Their site would crash during high-traffic news events and editing was slow due to Gutenberg performance.

Solution

Built a custom lightweight CMS from scratch using Laravel. Implemented Cloudflare caching for static pages, lazy-loaded images, and infinite scroll for the blog archive. The editor saves drafts automatically every 30 seconds to prevent content loss.

Outcomes

  • Page load time: 0.8s (was 4.2s on WordPress)
  • 500,000+ monthly page views served
  • 25 active authors publishing daily
  • Newsletter: 12,000 subscribers
