Looking for news website software? You probably faced the usual question: build on WordPress and plugins, commission custom software, or buy a ready-made news portal platform? For a local newspaper, news portal or publishing group the right answer depends on agency feeds, editorial workflow, ad revenue and local reader modules. This guide explains what to look for, then introduces our new product Kayısı Haber Pro with its price, features and the "free development when you host with us" advantage.

What Is News Website Software?
News website software (a news CMS or news portal script) is built for sites that publish dozens of stories a day, with several editors, categories, tags and authors, and ad revenue to track. Unlike a standard web design project, three things matter: speed, automation (agency feeds should not be copied by hand) and revenue management (ad zones you can sell).
8 Features a Good News Website Platform Needs
- Agency integration: automatic RSS, JSON and NewsML feeds, duplicate detection and an inbox.
- Editorial workflow: draft → review → publish, scheduling, revision history and rollback.
- AI assistance: rewriting, headline/summary/SEO suggestions, with editor approval before publishing.
- Local modules: pharmacy on duty, prayer times, weather, gold and currency, league standings.
- Ad management: ad zones, advertiser and campaign tracking, impression/click reports, AdSense support.
- News SEO: Google News-style sitemap, NewsArticle schema, social images, 301 redirect manager. See our SEO service.
- Security: two-factor authentication, audit log, secure file management.
- Speed and mobile experience: read our Core Web Vitals guide.

Kayısı Haber Pro is a ready-to-install news website software for local newspapers, news portals, magazines, agencies and publishing groups. It is delivered as a working product and configured with your brand, logo, colours and province during setup. There is a single package with every feature; no restricted tiers.
Agency feeds

AI usage fees are not included; they are paid from your own AI service account and can be switched off any time. See also our AI process automation guide for SMEs.
