Ontario Pulse
News & publishing platform
A regional news site built for speed: statically generated, written in MDX, with editorial user management so a newsroom publishes without touching code. Cross-platform from a single codebase.
S01The business
Local news, built to be found
Ontario Pulse is a regional news and guides site we built and run: articles on technology, immigration, education and life in Ontario, organised by category and topic.
As described by the product's own screens
What we built
- Static generation
- MDX publishing
- Editorial user management
- Cross platform
Each line has a number. A frame further down that shows it carries the same one.
What it had to do
Load fast enough that a search visitor stays.
Let an editor publish without touching code.
Make every article findable by category, topic and search.
S02Design
A front page that reads like a paper
The design is white, with one red for the masthead and a navy for links. Articles carry a contents rail and related reading; categories and topics are always one click away.

S03Engineering
Static pages, written in MDX
Every page is generated ahead of time rather than on request, and articles are written in MDX — so a story can carry more than text. Editorial user management sits behind it.

S04Infrastructure
Checked, staged, then shipped
A change reaches production through a CI/CD pipeline with automated tests, by way of separate dev, UAT and production environments. It is deployed on Vercel.
