How CMSNebula Transformed Vecer.mk, Macedonia's Largest News Portal
The Challenge: Vecer.mk's Struggle with WordPress
As the largest news portal in Macedonia, Vecer.mk stands at the forefront of breaking news and in-depth journalism. However, the platform's reliance on WordPress began to reveal critical pain points as the site expanded and daily traffic surged.
Despite being one of the most recognized media outlets in the country, Vecer.mk faced significant challenges with their digital operations. Their team frequently experienced:
- Downtime during breaking news – When major stories hit, traffic spikes would overwhelm WordPress, leading to site crashes or slowdowns.
- Sluggish admin performance – As Vecer.mk's article database grew to tens of thousands of posts, the WordPress admin panel became increasingly slow, affecting editorial efficiency.
- Security vulnerabilities – Relying on multiple plugins to handle essential newsroom functions created security gaps and increased the risk of cyberattacks.
- Scalability issues – Managing heavy traffic and a growing archive became a challenge, requiring constant plugin updates and infrastructure tweaks.
The Solution: Why We Built CMSNebula
After seeing Vecer.mk's struggles firsthand, our team realized that existing solutions weren't enough. WordPress, while great for smaller sites, wasn't built to handle the high-pressure demands of large-scale news agencies.
That's when we set out to build CMSNebula – an all-in-one CMS specifically designed to support high-traffic news portals and journalists.
