A dedicated digital home for Ang Pamantasan, PLM's official student publication — moving the paper off Facebook-only publishing to a fast, searchable, editor-managed website.
A dedicated digital home for Ang Pamantasan, PLM's official student publication — moving the paper off Facebook-only publishing to a fast, searchable, editor-managed website.
No dedicated platform — articles and archives lived only on Facebook
Poor discoverability, since social feeds aren't built for long-form journalism or archival access
An outdated presence that didn't reflect the publication's brand
We Built the site on Next.js with Contentful as a headless CMS, so editors could publish and restructure content without touching code. Articles, categories, and featured stories render dynamically through Contentful's API, styled with Tailwind for consistency across devices.
The hardest part was designing a content model flexible enough for different article types and editorial sections without needing a schema rewrite every time editors wanted something new — that meant staying closely aligned with how editors actually wanted to organize content, not just what was technically convenient.
Next.js for server-rendered pages, chosen for fast routing and good SEO on article pages
Contentful's API-driven model, so new content ships without a redeploy
Tailwind for a single consistent responsive layout across breakpoints
A permanent, searchable archive, independent of social media's short shelf life
Centralized content discovery instead of scattered feed posts
A more professional, consistent brand presence for the publication
