Gorkhapatra & The Rising Nepal Website/App Design and Development
01. Work Brief
Gorkhapatra and The Rising Nepal are innovative news publishing platforms launched by Gorkhapatra Corporation, a government initiative in Nepal. As Nepal’s first news organization, Gorkhapatra serves the Nepali-speaking community, while The Rising Nepal focuses on delivering news in English.
Goldenmud Creation played a pivotal role in this transformation by conceptualizing and redesigning the Gorkhapatra website and its accompanying mobile app. These modern platforms were built using advanced technologies such as Laravel Livewire, Bootstrap, and Vue 3 for content management, complemented by frontend enhancements featuring Alpine.js and jQuery. This redesign was crucial, as their old website was perceived as outdated and overly simplistic.
Now, with a host of state-of-the-art features and functionalities, these sites have become essential destinations for timely news and information in Nepal.
