Project description:
"I need a complete, production-ready online news portal built from the ground up, covering both the public-facing channels (web and mobile) and the newsroom workflow behind the scenes.

Front-end
• Website in [login to view URL] or in a custom WordPress theme—whichever you can prove will stay lightning-fast, secure and SEO-friendly.
• One mobile codebase in React Native or Flutter compiled for both iOS and Android.
• The look and feel must follow a modern, minimalist aesthetic: generous whitespace, clean typography and unobtrusive navigation.

Back-end & CMS
Strapi is non-negotiable. Please wire its role-based permissions so reporters can draft, editors can approve, and admins have full control. Draft → review → publish should feel seamless, with status indicators at each stage.

Core features to implement
– Category pages, breaking-news ticker, full-text search, threaded comments and ad slots (Google Ad Manager).
– Push notifications (Firebase or an equivalent) for breaking stories.
– REST or GraphQL endpoints so future micro-services can plug in easily.
– AI helpers: automatic article summaries, headline suggestions and tag generation (I already hold OpenAI credits; you only need to integrate).

Deployment & quality guarantees
You will spin up the full stack in a cloud environment of your choice, configure CI/CD, SSL, daily backups and basic WAF. I expect sub-2-second initial load on Lighthouse mobile and no critical security findings on OWASP ZAP.

Deliverables
1. Source code for website, mobile app and Strapi customisations in a Git repo
2. Live site + apps in the stores
3. Admin manual and a short screen-share walkthrough

Show me links to news or media sites you have shipped that handle high traffic, and mention which stack you used there. Strong grasp of SEO, performance tuning and secure coding will be the deciding factors." (client-provided description)
