Qalam — Journalist portfolio + dashboard

(01) The problem

A field reporter needed one home for her work, a blog she could update herself, and a safe way for readers to send tips.

(02) The idea

A fast right-to-left site with a private dashboard behind it. No monthly CMS bill, and no developer needed to post.

(03) What I built

Inside it.

  1. 01

    Arabic first

    Right-to-left layout and type, designed for Arabic, not translated.

  2. 02

    Reports & articles

    Her field reporting, with the numbers and the impact.

  3. 03

    Tips with attachments

    Readers send stories and files through a secure form.

  4. 04

    Her own dashboard

    Most-read articles, new tips, posts and messages in one place.

  5. 05

    Serverless

    No server to look after and almost nothing to pay each month.

(05) Result

She publishes and reads tips without waiting for anyone.
