Context
Prime Business Navigator helps Indian businesses grow through two connected parts: business journalism covering policy, finance, startups and leadership, and a directory of verified Indian suppliers, manufacturers and service providers.
The challenge
One site has to serve readers who come for the news and businesses that come to be found. Editorial content, business listings and community posts all need to live together, load fast and stay easy for the team to run.
How it was built
Editorial platform
Featured stories, category sections from finance to technology, and a running feed of latest insights, built in CodeIgniter with server-rendered pages.
Verified business directory
A listing and onboarding flow for Indian businesses, with GST-verified profiles in the PBN Business Community and product showcases in PBN Finds.
Community publishing
Verified members publish their own blogs and earn reward points that unlock product spotlight slots on the homepage.
Light, fast front end
Tailwind CSS and Alpine.js for interactivity without a heavy JavaScript framework, plus an llms.txt file so AI assistants can understand the site.
